Going out on a ride later to play around with a shockwiz, and just getting everything set up, and I don’t really know what I am doing with the suspension setup.

Trying to get my head around the various terminology used, the shockwiz describes it as slow or fast, but on the fox x2 manual it is firm or soft, and as the are describing compression damping rather than the overall shock performance, I don’t know what settings to put into the initial shockwiz setup.

So, if I turn the adjustments on the shock all the way clockwise, then adjust from there, am I adjusting from slow or fast?

Slow is firm is closed, so based on this

Then yes clockwise is fully closed/firm/slow – basically the most damping.

So I dunno if this will help but in a nutshell, low speed is to damp the suspension against rider inputs. High speed damps it against trail input.

For me on the X2 it’s usually a click or three of the former and probably none of the latter (eg. Fully open)

Fast and slow are more useful for describing rebound settings.
