                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I think the top level DH guys do change their settings for grip in the wet or dry tracks so having settings for each isnt un heard of. 

After watching some of the Fox Dialled series, Bracketing would be the suggestion, sounds like you've gone from no rebound dampening to half of the rebound dampening on, so maybe go back and remove half of what you applied so you have quarter of the dampening applied and test again?

or buy a new fork with high speed and low speed rebound to deal with roots and steps...]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[No, same trails that I ride to start or end most rides.

When the rebound is on the fast side there is definitely a lot less effort to pop off everything and the bike feels "playful" to use a tired magazine review term. I'm an XC mincer at best, but landing smaller stuff was manageable if you are really aggressive over the front wheel, but if the body position is a bit off or you start getting slack when tired it is definitely more of a handful.

I always thought very fast rebound was the way to go but I think there are some benefits to slowing things down... I just need to find the balance.

I rode a rigid SS for the 3 years prior to getting the SID so that does somewhat skew things]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Molgrips, I would normally just go for one setting too but my tinkering got me thinking. Fastest rebound has been working well for me since getting the fork at the start of the drier weather and I had no complaints. It feels lovely to bomb down rough stuff and feels very responsive/ active (if that is the right description) when grip isn't such an issue.

Just for funsies I set the rebound to the middle settings now we have a deluge and gained a lot of control and grip in tight, twisty rooted singletrack with roots going off in every direction. This felt like mainly because the front wheel wasn't pinging off everything. It definitely packed down though. So I feel there is something to be gained but wonder how to best find that balance]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[^ I did that and that's part of how I arrived at the rebound being set to the fastest. I would definitely be approaching rebound as "the fastest you can get away with" by instinct which is similar to the video. The wheel doesn't come up with the rebound at the fastest setting so I stuck with the fastest. Great in the dry but I feel there is something to be gained in the wet by tinkering :) 

I wondered about coming at it from the other side for the wet- start slow and ride some slightly spaced out steps/ stepped rocky stuff and make the rebound faster if the fork is staying stuck down? Got to be worth an experiment :)

On most trails it is hard to feel the differences in rebound. It only seems to be the extremes of horrible wet roots that expose too fast rebound and stepped, repeated hits that expose too slow rebound. I may just have to ride those bits over and over and find a balance but curious to hear what other do.

The Shockwhiz is an interesting one that I am a bit skeptical about but would love to try. If anyone wants to loan one for a reasonable cost let me know :)]]></content:encoded>
