Random Fork Setup Thoughts

[tkdbboy]

Was just setting up my fork the other week and was wondering how much travel people use up from compressing as hard as they can using their body weight.

Curious to compare setups using fairly replicable scenarios.

How much % of your fork travel do you use when:

• In sag setup position
• Feet on level ground and compressing your forks with as much force as you can
• Feet on the pedals on level ground and compressing your forks with as much force as you can

Fork travel and body weight would be good bits of info too.

30% / 55% / 80% (Yep sag is pretty high but testing these new settings)
180mm , 80kg

150mm, ~100kg of pure manbunned powah.
15%, 50%, 90%.
36 RC2, 95psi’s. Compression almost fully open.
Cheeky backyard test with new lubed forks. Will probably end up adding more compression again next ride, I backed it all off as forks started to feel gross and sticky. They feel like a pogo stick atm.

You have always used full travel @Ultra Lord

All the travel, all the time!

Maybe that’s why my rims always have buckles?
And to be fair, that rock slab had a pretty savage transition.

160mm 78kg, pretty much same sag as you, not sure i quite get to 80% but similar Lscis only 2 clicks away from zero
