So, after months of tribulations with my Vengeance forks (worked really well to be honest, but travel crept down), they have now been replaced by Freeborn.

After advice from their warranty guy and James @ J-Tech, I’ve gone for the HLR’s (High/Low speed compression, Rebound), rather than the HLR DLA (Down Low Adjust).

First ride tonight and gone with settings in the region of where I had them before. They feel like they will need a little more bedding in than before – had to reduce pressure to 50psi (and I’m 80+ kgs loaded) to get anything like the right amount of sag.

However, small bump compliance was great and they feel so more supportive in the low-mid stroke. Time will tell, but even though the last fork performed really well, these feel like different gravy.

That is all!
