80k's of riding today. Mostly snotty root infested rocky singles. Suspension isn't too bad overall though needs some work front and rear with the LSC.

The rear isn't too bad, LSC is about 8 clicks out of 25. Less LSC results in the rear squatting too much and riding low in the stroke. Couple this with hitting a decent sized square edge and it causes a spike and kick in the pants. More LSC results in the rear not squatting enough, spinning up instead of gripping and harsh over trail trash. Where it is now is a tad firm and slightly harsh on trail trash but it's the best compromise at the moment.

Forks seem to have lost oil again. They are diving under brakes, blowing through on downhill sections when hitting holes/roots etc and then pogoing too fast from deep in the stroke. Seems to be a sign from these forks it's time for a service. Only 20hrs since the last one, high maintenance these forks!

Currently have the comp clicker at 4 out. It has to be here to keep the forks up in the stroke and prevent them from diving. LS rebound is good, didn't touch it all day. HS rebound is a tad quick from deep in the stroke. Landing from a jump will rebound the front wheel back into the air.

Plan is to service front and rear, then with fresh oil go and confirm the above is still happening.

Only footage from today:
