Default Revalved Marzocchi Shiver 45 for plushness.

Revalved my forks for the FSE. What I wanted was plush, plush, plush.

Stock base valve is:
22x10
22x10
11x10
19x15
11x10
17x15
15x15
13x20

My new setup is kinda radical, and is a little bit resaearch and a larger bit guessing.
22x10
19x15
17x15
15x15


This setup worked pretty good. It was now much better for rocky trails. Some bottoming occured in larger whoops at high speed, but I can live with that.
The first test felt really awful, bike was unstable on small rocks and roots, felt like a flat tire. Which it was.
Now with the flat fixed the bike handles fine. On an enduro yesterday on a very rocky trail I managed to climb to the middle of the scoreboard and actually finish the race, as opposed to my normal retired bottom position. A lot of riders struggled hard with the terrain, as I danced the bike around.
It was no problem to just go head on and over soccer ball size boulders.
I am currently running 110 mm of 7.5wt fork oil and I might try a 120 or 130 level, just to get that trials fork feel to it.

Any comments from you suspension experts on my new stack?
What have I done exactly?
