Just tried the new spring setup on an MX track and it worked surprisingly well. Suspension now seems perfect for 70% woods and 30% MX.
Before it was very wallowy and bottomed front and rear very easily. Now it stays up decently on jump faces, no harshness on rollers or sharp hits. Nice and steady at speed, turns with confidence on hairpins or sweepers. Now all travel is available for whatever needs.
I was very certain I'd need a revalve to slightly stiffer for all-purpose use, but now it works so well so that won't be neccessary.
What an amazing bike...
