trev, internally my forks are not anywhere close to what stock set up is. I have a functioning mid valve vs a blow off and I have built an aggressive rebound stack to control the harsh return. I play with air chamber to tune for conditions as well. This fork has limits though. I tend to be able to tune it well for certain terrain but I struggle to get it set up for variable terrain. I can ride them fine if I just slow it down and pick more conservative lines. Thanks for the input. I found in the choppy stuff, like running down a single track section in the desert...high speed, choppy, rough, the forks beat the hell out of me. Part of it was rebound damping and part of it was a progressive compression valving. In stock form neither exsisted. With mods it was much better and I would almost run pace. Never could get up to speed though. That is my current project.
