Huh? I can make mine do either.. Pretty pointless video. Little bit of spring energy on the return of a little push.. Basically just showing the influence/difference between a bleed hole wide open and closed.

Can you make same work of suspension on your gg? Because i can't... my fork do nothing from left to right full turns. GG EC300 2011. Is this my issue or it was deadborn from factory on my gg?

if yours doesnt react on rebound fully closed you have a technical issue. Between rebound fully open and closed there should be a pretty noticeable difference. Maybe not as much as in the video...

Yes, I understand that something is wrong with my suspension, the shock as well.
but the fork is fully serviced ... Looks like it should be given to a professional.

I just wanted to know how much this is a regular problem on gg. I have a friend with exactly the same model as me (EC300 2011) and his suspension also does not respond to rebound and compretion settings.

Do you mean the slowing of the rebound as the clicker is closed?

Most forks have a lot of free bleed built into them, which means at low speeds like bouncing on the bike doesn't show a lot of damping. You don't actually want too much low speed damping anyway or you end up packing. Returning from deep in the stroke after a substantial impact is where you'll see the stacks deflecting and damping occurring. I wouldn't worry about how your bike bounces, and tune to how it rides.

PS. If you 2011 has the 45mm Zokes it will probably have lots of free bleed in it's design too.
