Anyone really use the T setting?  Trail?

I have some 100mm 32s and I use C for road and D for all off-road. There's plenty of support, never really felt the need to use T.

Not on forks, but do on shocks for technical climbing, out of the saddle stuff.

Hmm, haven't got it on my shock.

I found D was too floppy, that it didn't offer support even at higher pressures so used T. I upgraded to the FIT damper.

T is great on my Float X. I know it’s not how Fox want you to use it, but I’ve got T dialed in how I like for Trail Centres and ‘Natural’ stuff and reserve D for BPW and the Alps etc. I think it’s meant to be for well, flat trails but as C isn’t lock out and it handles the flats so well it was a bit redundant. Still I live in Wales, ‘flat’ is almost a myth.

I used T all the time*, front and rear.

*Well, I experimented occasionally with D and invariably felt as though I was about to be thrown over the bars on any descent vaguely "steep". And the few times I used C, I typically forget about changing it back so ended up at the bottom of any rough descent feeling completely out of control and shaken and stirred...I've now changed bike (4 bar to VPP) and leave both both dampers compression wide open....

Pressures are quite high really, the fork is quite firm but I can still get 95mm travel.  D only works if I have the higher pressures, but I like it that way for an XC bike.
