More high speed compression?

[QUOTE="dbrace, post: 678217, member: 36277"] The reason they go stiffer with the mid valve removed is because the forks will be a lot softer without the mid valve contributing to your overall damping. Leave the mid valve in but try a little more compresion. I would try a little more low and high speed. Bottoming can often be caused by not enough low speed as the forks can go thru the first part of the stroke too quick building up too much momentum that cant be controlled by the high speed damping. IMO the race tech chart settings are usually to soft for fast/agressive mx riders.They run somewhat high oil levels to stop bottoming but soft valving in an attempt to try and give a plush initial feel. IMO the soft valving lets the forks go thru the early part of the stroke too fast. This may be ok when going slow but charge hard into some square edged braking bumps and things can get ugly.
