Instead of thinking about parts of the stroke, think about shaft speeds and fluid displacement.
With the crossover, it means that for slower shaft speeds that only displace a certain amount of fluid over a certain time, it'll allow the first 6 shims to flex easier, offering less resistance. For faster shaft speeds and higher displacement those shims will flex to contact the other 32's and continue to build damping. Running the 12 under the 14 changes the clamp/pivot and will soften the whole stack further again.. I'd try this. Piston 32mm (x6) 0.11mm 24mm (x1) 0.11mm 32mm (x6) 0.11mm 30mm (x1) 0.11mm 28mm (x1) 0.11mm 26mm (x1) 0.11mm 24mm (x1) 0.11mm 22mm (x1) 0.11mm 20mm (x1) 0.11mm 18mm (x1) 0.11mm 16mm (x1) 0.11mm 14mm (x1) 0.11mm 20mm (x2) 1.58mm 12mm (x1) 0.11mm --can remove if you like, or leave in place. Won't influence anything. 11mm (x2) 0.25mm If it still feels to firm just order a 13.3 from somewhere as your new clamp and it'll soften things further. Changing the clamp is a pretty noticeable/significant change. |
Thank you Sir! I will work on it this weekend.
|
Let us know how you get on with it.

MX-Tech is 1.5 hours away from me so I ordered the 26mm and 14mm shims to save time.
|
I dont have a SSS front end yet but this is a informative thread. Subscribed.
|
I received my shims late so I will need to do the work next weekend.
|
No worries mate! ;)
|
Jakobi - I was able to swap out the shims last night and I went for a quick ride today. I think your suggestions that took care of my problem. The forks soak up the small stuff much better and they fell very progressive. I need to go out for a real ride to get them dialed in. I will try to do that next weekend. Thank you again Sir!

You beauty!
|
Have you managed to put a few hours on them yet?
