I saw that tool but passed as I was worried about the contact area and it slipping while leaning on it engaging the comp assy threads. It probably bottoms out on the PFP adjuster before the cap, right?
Stock preload with stock springs is about 5mm. I reset my clip to 0 preload, then added 2mm shims I made to the bottom of the fork under the springs. This should help the fork settle a little more with the stock PFP springs. Other than that I added rebound as well and removed free bleed, probably close to what was done to yours. I also had one cartridge with dirtier oil than the other, strange. I scrubbed them clean inside and out, and as far as I can tell the anodizing looks the same on both.
I really like the fork, its firm and you feel a lot of the trail but with no deflection thats a good thing. The PFP system is interesting but of limited use because of the stiffness. That was part of my reasoning for dropping the main spring preload, I can always make it up with more PFP if needed.
How did the procedure work out for you?
