I have found that with two tokens they feel quite harsh anyone else find this, particularly on rocky rooty trails, without tokens they felt fairly plush but ramp up for big hits, have removed one token, what are your experiences with setup, I am going to try less rebound.

Luftkappe.

I buggered about for ages with tokens and pressures, never ever got the solos to work like the dual position I used to have, now they're wicked, lovely small bump compliance, not divey.

I know it's not the same fork but I have a set of 150mm Yari forks that came with 2 tokens in them and 2 spare but I find them best with no tokens in them .

Well that is my experience they felt great without tokens, still ramping up, this may be my default.
I,m thinking harsher/stiffer may well work if you prefer smoother trails with big drops/jumps.

Ps. The tokens were recommended at last service.

Where is your rebound now?

Just slowed mine down to halfway on the dial and it's much more comfy, with better grip.

I got mine with no tokens, found I was adjusting pressure constantly. Up to not dive, down for small bump sensitivity. 2 tokens now and they're pretty good.

Think I still prefer my coil Lyrik RC2 with the floodgate removed though.

This is the thing I have always found the new pike very good not divey at all, certainly better than the older solo air LYric.

I have found that with two tokens ... blah...blah...

What travel??

There's a hell of a difference between adding tokens to a 120mm fork and 160mm fork.

FWIW: I tried 1 and I tried 3, but I find 2 tokens on a 140mm Pike works for me. (Luftkappe curious, but skint.)

These tokens, could they be 3D printed?

You could lob a big gob of chewing gum in there and it would achieve the same result, so I would say "yes".

Yes they can be 3D printed, hence the half I have put in. From a pal that 3D prints them.
