In my latest testing i have been thinking about how is the best way to control bottoming,now we all know bottoming is a function of damping and spring rates but which balance is the best?Im thinking is we use soft springs we may have to use excessive damping to stop the clang we all dred, we can use heigher oil heights as the airsping is what takes over when deep into the travel but does this create any harshness-IMo it doesnt on most modern forks but may do on say a 43mm WP as the pressure rise will be very fast.
So in conclusion i am going down the lines of 'normal springs' lightish damping for good responces to varied terrain with higher oil heights to control bottoming-rather than use the clickers to stop bottoming i use the clciker to get the plushness i want then increase oil levels to stop the bottoming-any thoughts?
