[QUOTE="James Dean, post: 24610, member: 18501"] Here is a theory, and thats all it is: Soft springs shift steering geometry more (steeper) when you move forward on the bike. Since I like tight woods riding, shifting forward gives better turning. Shifting back (within reason) helps extend the front for whoops. Whoops are a small percentage of what I ride. Higher fork oil level stiffens the last 1/3 of the travel which has a similar effect to the stiffer springs. The majority of the time it will be using the less stiff rate. In the shop the forks feel like firm damping and medium spring rate, but riding feels balanced without sharp hits. Sometimes I feel reluctant to voice that stiffer springs aren't the answer for every rider. Seems that stiffer springs are the automatic fix for the general population. Just not for me.
