[QUOTE="GlennP, post: 112989, member: 18736"] T-Bone, The '01s are valved lighter than the '00s, probably better for east coast conditions. Let them break in for 200 miles or so. I weigh 170-175lbs., and .43s seem way stiff unless you see a lot of air. It sounds to me like you need more low speed compression damping to keep the fork up, or maybe have too much rebound damping dialed in holding the fork down? I've had good results with the 2.5wt in the rocks, but rebound does speed up, and you loose adjustability range on the clicker for sand and whoops. Another point. The XCs steer really fast. You can eaisly oversteer the bike with too much input. When I went from my 300EXC to my GG, I was steering into the woods before the cornesr at first. What I did, that I really like, is change the linkage pull rods from 122mm to 123mm. This will drop the rear slightly and take the edge off the steering, but it will still turn under anything except an RM. The bike is also very stable at speed, so for open west coast stuff, this may be the way to go. You can always change it back in 5 minutes. [/QUOTE]
