Anyone else experiencing this? at 15% I seem to be using almost all my travel - I normally ride at 25% sag but if I do I'll bottom out. Easy fix? anyone done it?

Cheers.

Have you added any tokens yet?

Yes, also excessive play in the bushes, returned twice under warranty, gave me a new fork each time.
120mm travel, 32mm stantions, 150mm axle and a 4 inch tyre make for a very flexy fork, which I don't believe was up to the job.

Cheers chaps - where do I source the tokens from? Bike came new from On One but with bugger all with it, apart from a build date certificate.
Never done this before so excuse the daft questions.

Lol I asked my mate if the bluto could take bottomless tokens only yesterday.. he said no!
Guess I'll be getting some..And sending him pics of the installation ๐Ÿ˜€

Anyone swapped the stock damper on a RL for a RT3 Charger Damper? Apparently it can be done.. https://www.singletracks.com/blog/mtb-gear/review-rockshox-bluto-fat-bike-fork/

Isn't it just a wide Reba? If memory serves 2016 and on Rebas take tokens and older ones need a new air cap.

Cheers again - had a quick look and Bird are doing the black tokens for 2.99!
(32mm fork ones - Bluto, Reba compatible etc). 4 quid shipped - one ordered - I'll give it a go.
