[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 376399, member: 22658"] I survived about 55 miles of the most sadistic rock infested, log infested, root infested nasties, some sections of sand, whoops (nothin like the lower Michigan whoops though), mud, hills and general "chop" that Magoo can help put together :p and gotta say the revalve did the trick for me. At first I was not so sure, then as I was moving (at what i thought was my normally glacially slow pace) through a particularily rock infested section, happend to catch a glimpse of my Panoram's speed display - and much to my surprise was moving about 50% faster than I ever thought i might (putting me up to fast moving glacier speed) ....suddenly i realized what I WASNT feeling through the forks! Huge improvement. In the whoops - i really still need to try them on some real lower Michigan whoops (da UP just aint gott em like we do!) but i cant say it was "bad" there at all. On bigger "hits" - at one spot (Magoo you will know it...that power line section..one rare spot where my speed was up) i suddenly found myself much farther in the air than i planned on...landed a bit outta shape, front down - i dreaded the coming impact...but it soaked it up just fine, and away i went. I left the clickers at 2 clicks out on compression and rebound from the suggested settings. I wonder if i should put the rebound back as the front was pushing a bit more than i would like. (wont rebound effect that?) I also do think i should do the 5 weight oil rather than ATF just to see what impact it has. To Magoos comment re forks at second ring/head shake...the only head shaking i had was my own head...after a taking a few rock and soil samples in that first section! Given the layout of the course there really was not that many high speed sections...i will try it out locally and see. On spring rate and sag measurements. I did measure it before the race - was at 30mm static, and at get this...50mm laden ...now i measured without my riding gear on, so fully geared up my laden would be a bit more than the 50mm. It sounds like I am darn close on spring rate, maybe just a touch light. It does dive more than before on braking it seems. Due to cost reasons (ie the wife says it aint in the budget) fork springs will have to wait...but i may sneek them in before to long. To sum it all up....it works! I still will mess with set up a bit more, particularily the 5 wt - but so far i say it is well worth the $. One more qualifier...all these comments are coming from a slow guy...dumb enough to try enduro racing...far from fast, far from knowing what I am doing...but having a ton of fun while I am at it!
