I've got a set of Rebas, solo air 29er forks. 2013/14 I think. I bought them off the forum and they'd been upgraded to the motion control DNA RCT3 damper.

Just had them serviced and I've been playing about to get them right, and they're acting a little odd.

Whereas the three settings would be Open, Threshold, Lock and the low compression knob would affect the sensitivity in threshold, now the compression knob seems to be changing the Open setting sensitivity. It's almost like the Open and Threshold settings have swapped places on the dial!

I am admittedly a bit ignorant of the settings as I got them second hand and can't find a manual online, so I'm hoping this is just user error - But can anyone help?

Thanks

Low speed on an rct3 only effects open. You're probably thinking of the older floodgate system that effected the pedal platform.

Ahh. I wondered if that was just on the pike rct3 or all. I think my unit came out of a Revelation originally.

So, sorry to follow up a daft question with an even sillier one. Why have the middle setting at all, if I can set the Open setting to give me a firm low speed ride with all the travel available when things speed up?

That is a very good question.... millions of RCT3 forks out there... probably a handful have ever made it into pedal mode more than one time ๐Ÿ˜‰

... on the charger damper.

On the other RCT3 for Rebas, Blutos, etc. (Motion Control DNA ??) The LSC only affects the middle position.

OP: Did you take the knobs off? If so, check that they have gone back in the right place.

Will do.

And those were my thoughts re. Motion Control DNA. It always used to only effect the middle setting. Hence my confusion.
