Instead of thinking about parts of the stroke, think about shaft speeds and fluid displacement.

With the crossover, it means that for slower shaft speeds that only displace a certain amount of fluid over a certain time, it'll allow the first 6 shims to flex easier, offering less resistance. For faster shaft speeds and higher displacement those shims will flex to contact the other 32's and continue to build damping.

Running the 12 under the 14 changes the clamp/pivot and will soften the whole stack further again..

I'd try this.

​​Piston
​32mm (x6) 0.11mm
24mm (x1) 0.11mm
32mm (x6) 0.11mm
30mm (x1) 0.11mm
28mm (x1) 0.11mm
26mm (x1) 0.11mm
24mm (x1) 0.11mm
22mm (x1) 0.11mm
20mm (x1) 0.11mm
18mm (x1) 0.11mm
16mm (x1) 0.11mm
14mm (x1) 0.11mm
20mm (x2) 1.58mm
12mm (x1) 0.11mm --can remove if you like, or leave in place. Won't influence anything.
11mm (x2) 0.25mm

If it still feels to firm just order a 13.3 from somewhere as your new clamp and it'll soften things further. Changing the clamp is a pretty noticeable/significant change.

MX-Tech is 1.5 hours away from me so I ordered the 26mm and 14mm shims to save time.

Jakobi - I was able to swap out the shims last night and I went for a quick ride today. I think your suggestions that took care of my problem. The forks soak up the small stuff much better and they fell very progressive. I need to go out for a real ride to get them dialed in. I will try to do that next weekend. Thank you again Sir!
