[QUOTE="SpectraSVT, post: 674630, member: 30250"] Got my forks back today and the work on the midvalve was awesome. Could not bottom out the forks no matter how hard I tried. I purposely case some jumps and no bottoming. Only thing now is that they are too stiff on low speed compression. Some shims were added to the low speed compression to hold me over until the midvalve shims came in. This made it stiffer through the whole stroke to compensate for the weak midvalve setup. The low speed stack was left as is for the first ride. I will probably have the low speed returned to the stock setup and leave the midvalve. THe low speed was pretty bad so I backed the clickers all the way out to full soft and no bottoming whatsoever. This is quite a difference from stock as I had to have the comp. only 4 clicks out to prevent bottoming which I could still do on flat landings. So 17 clicks more towards soft is a DRASTIC change over previous setup. I could feel the forks getting stiffer as they went down. Very cool. I was also able to blitz the whoops and the forks sucked up everything even if I screwed up. Not something I could have done with stock forks. [/QUOTE]
