So I went to the dealer and they gave me a handful of 21 and 22 mm x.10 shims. Unfortunately the shims were 6mm ID and I need 8mm. So a buddy had a 16, 18, 21mm x .10 and I installed those on 1 fork and moved the tiny transition shim up a few in the stack. I put 7wt oil back in the fork and now it is slightly slower at full hard than my WP fork and slightly faster at full soft. I did not have any more shims for the other fork so I just set them both to full hard and went racing.
I need to pull them apart again this week and figure out where I need to go now.
On the mid valve there was a real heavy duty shim and it was removed. With this rebound mess I have no clue if the other valving is working well or not. The forks just don't feel progressive enough to me, but if the rebound dampening is non-exsistent then nothing would feel right.
I only made it 16 miles into the national Hare and Hound before DNFing. I had a top 5 start, got tangled up with another rider, and screwed my bike up big time. I found another buddy on the ground with a concusion and separated shoulder and stayed to get him out of there. My bike was not working well so my mission became focused on getting him out of there.
