I just got a new dirt jumper this is my first time owning one it came with XFusion’s RC32 the Manuel said to put 60 psi for 120 pound person but it still feels very soft even with the damper is this right? And how could I fix this? I am trying to hit dirt jumps on it. Also is the damper the screw on the right it of the fork and can you leave the damper set all the way while jumping and overnight?
Increase pressure until it does not move much, slow the rebound to make it move less, and increase the low speed compression to make sure it does not move more. Now forget about it for about five years and you have successfully setup a DJ fork.
Should I tighten the rebound all the way so it comes up very fast
Definitely not. A lot of people I know do the opposite of that and close the rebound knob entirely. Think of the suspension fork on your new dirt jumper as a $700 rigid fork with expensive inside bits that sort of move a little when you overshoot a jump to flat and would have otherwise broken your wrists.
Accurate responses as f…
you made me think about my fork setup on the dj and i honestly dont remember cause i did exactly pump it up so that it doesnt move much and forgot about it.
For dirt jumping, and dirt jumping only, put the maximum allowable air pressure with slow (screwed in) rebound. If you can get away without maxing out your compression, that is okay.
