Got some 2013 revelation rc3 forks and they are good on bigger hits but on small roots and they like they are a bit harsh. Any tips to make them plusher? I have put two spacers in them and got 90 psi and I am 73kg. To tell you the truth I am not exactly sure how the silver compression dial works and read something about user them with the lockout half closed.

They just do not seem as plush as my old pike air forks

If they are solo air,you now have no negative air chamber.Which would explain the lack of small bump compliancy! You have to replace the solo air spring to reduce travel on solo air rockshox.

Have you actually got the 2013? you've linked to the 2012 version, the 2013 can't be spaced down (iirc)

I suggest you start by fully opening the lock out and turning the compression damping down.

Yes. It is the 2012. It does have pos and neg air and the compression dial is on the lowest setting but for my part I can only tell this when on the half closed setting for the lockout. I would say I have had between 20 and thirty hours of riding on them so not sure if they need more breaking in.
