the re-bound damping to be a low a po ible, but not o low that the normal ride
height i not recovered. On very rough terrain, if the bike become progre ively lower a
more bump are hit then the re-bound damping i et too low. On the other hand if the
bike feel choppy and not plu h then the re-bound damping i too fa t. A bit of trial and
error i needed to get the exact etting. WARNING. Only make adju tment to your fork
while tationary, and not when riding.
