Okey dokey, with the above valving the bike feels pretty damn good on the MX track, but with one problem, it does not absorb the chop of braking bumps. My hands feel like they're beginning to bruise when I hit that part of the track.

Considering how much free bleed these forks had, and how much I've taken away, I've decided to return to a 2 stage setup on compression, and add a 2 stage to the rebound using only 2x.1mm shims before crossover. I'm hoping that this at least takes the bite off the beginning of the compression stroke, and allows the rebound to react quicker on the small choppy stuff. I also found that the rebound was too fast when recovering from bottoming, the blow stack when put into restackor gives a decent amount less LSR, and more HSR so hopefully the best of both worlds!

Base valve - Note how uber the stack is after the crossover! When you add a crossover you are adding more flow to the HSC circuit, so in order to maintain the same amount of damping when going from single to dual stage, the HSC stack needs to be significantly increased.

Mid compression - Check valve, bypassing the mid valve completely seems to have had the best effect on plushness so far.

Rebound - Restactor sees this stack as significantly softer at 1m/s, roughly the same at 2-4m/s and about 10% firmer at 4-8m/s, which will hopefully reduce the pogo effect after big landings
