Weight of Rider = 275
Year of bike = 2000
Type of bike = XC250
Type of Forks = WP 43's
Type of Shocks = Ohlins
Fork spring rate = .46
Shock spring rate = 5.8

Bike and Rider Sag Settings: don't remember, set it per GG/Ohlins recomendations, came out perfect with the stiffer springs for my weight.
Front bike sag (without rider) =
Front rider sag =
Rear bike sag (without rider) =
Rear rider sag =

All Clicker settings are from fully wound clockwise...
Fork rebound clicker = 14
Fork Compression clicker = 17
Fork/Shock Valving (Stock or Revalved) = both revalved by LTR
Shock (high speed..outer dial) setting = n/a
Shock (low speed ..inner screw) setting = 18
Shock rebound( linkage screw) setting = 18

Fork oil weight and brand (if known) = 7w Putoline
Fork oil air gap( to top of fork) = don't remeber, found on GGRC forum somewhere.
New or old oil (recently changed??) = broke in, almost service time.

Results :
Type of riding you do = mostly single track. Some desert.
How you like your suspension to feel = softer than this but... if riding aggresively this works very well for my weight as far as resisting bottoming and it actually becomes pretty plush at speed. It is almost uncomfortably stiff when sitting down trail riding over roots and rocks with slow riders.
Fast or slow rider (be honest) = compared to most riders on this site?? Slow. I consider myself medium.
