Message: [QUOTE="drehwurm, post: 131113, member: 20888"] Servus, Well, if there are no more takers here is the magic word: MIDVALVE FLOAT! First thing Jeremy recommended was reducing the midvalve stack and while this helped somewhat there also were negative side effects. Much of the 'nice' low speed control was lost without getting completely rid of the high speed probs. We tried somemore stuff like stiffer springs and even less midvalve, but to no avail. I went on on my own and finally the breakthrough came when I went radical and tried even less midvalve combined with less midvalve float. This clearly was a step in the wrong direction so the guidelines were clear: 1) more midvalve float to get the midvalve working later and get some flow for high speed stuff 2) more midvalve damping to keep the controlled feel 3) more LSC on the basevalve to compensate for the later starting midvalve 4) get rid of the stiffer springs as they worked for MX but not for offroad - so I went with the stock springs but much more preload. This also allowed me to open the comp clickers a little more to gain some plushness on the small stuff. and it WORKED as you can partially see on the video. Actually the fork action improved on about every aspect and got even more versatile too. I wouldn't be me to be satisfied now so I'm going to try even stiffer midvalve settings combined with more float till things get worse. Fortunately revalving the midvalve on the WP forks is just a little more work than woring on the base valve - I can now do a complete midvalve revalve including removal, disassemby, assembly, installation of the forks and cleaning up the workplace within 1 1/2 hours. Did it often enough! Any question? Michael [/QUOTE]
