I added a couple of clicks of compression to my lyriks when I entered am xc race. 😀
My pikes were run open all the time. I turned the lock out and u-turn adjusters a few times a year to make sure they still worked, thats about it. Swapped them for N.O.S 2006 'zocchi Z1 RC2s, which are still the best forks I've ever ridden.
If only Marzocchi would start making open bath coil forks again....
I find the rear makes more difference but I will add some compression some times.
About to move to CTD so will see how that goes.
On a full-suss it's open front and rear all the time. The bike always seems to climb better when seated and spinning. Better traction if hitting square edge bumps. For hardtail use, front suss maybe better locked/platformed if doing any out of the saddle stuff.
CTD is a bit disappointing really. When I was riding a CTD equipped bike for a couple of weeks, I just left it in Trail on both the fork and shock all the time and left it. The Descend mode feels horrible and sluggish, blowing through the travel.mikewsmith - Member
