I think the beta red legs may have a different mv gap....Steve?
Inners have been bushing land machined.
No bottoming for me with this but any less than 350cc will have you running close, 330 and it's clank!

I've gone away from winding in the reb till just b4 packing, I like less rebound now that the back has less lsr, and you can run more comp without harshness.
This is the Leon thread.

I thought that the beta being heavier and a 4t that it would work well with my weight, springs and Leon has ridden a lot of good suspension is I would trust his judgement, as well as NP on Dbw whom rates the beta valving. |
Hmm interesting, your rebound stack is a lot lighter then mine, MV is similar but the BV seems to be stiffer and with less bleed (mine still runs a 12.1 bleed shim).
My forks went back together on the weekend, used Jakes method of bleeding/filling them (seems surprisingly easy, when reading Jakes write-up I was thinking it would be simialar to brain surgery
) I still doubt I got a perfect bleed, however there will be a lot less air in there compared to when the tuner did it last time.
I also put 350ml of oil in the outers, tuner put in 330ml last time, having said that 50ml had disappeared, only 275ml came back out from each
Just have to wait on the head to get back from being re-machined and button it all back together and I'll go test it out to see the results.
