[#2726855]

I have recently bought a set of Rock Shox Revelation RL 20mm(2011 model) and fitted them to my Cotic Soul.

The thing is I'm still not getting full travel out of them despite altering the pressure a couple of times.I reckon I'm getting about 2/3rds travel.

At present I am running them at 70psi in the top chamber and 50psi in the bottom chamber, I weigh 12 stone.

Has anyone else got these forks(or similar) and what psi are you running?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Try equal pressures in - & + chambers.

I'm your weight and run 100psi positive and 110psi negative. Gives me about 1/2 inch shirt of full travel in most trails with the rest in reserve for any surprise big hits. When I ran 90 pos and 100 negative I was bottoming them out a bit too quickly, not that I ever felt it but the rubber ring had nowhere left to go in the stanchions. Running less negative pressure than positive will almost always prevent you achieving full travel IME.
