Good question. For me at least, I could only close damping (both R and C) so much before the fork would get harsh... so one less click than that. But would have preferred more damping. Just couldn’t get there without numb hands

Brines. Interesting post. Gone the opposite way lately to greatly results. Formerly focused on spring via cutting tokens small changes to PSI (rockshox lyriks), and then turning in until the fork got harsh. Now, and with much better results (Fox grip2), focuses on damper. Air spring full linear, enough psi to not bottom out too much, then really caring about...

I feel there are a few layers to this conversation +How many times has the person ridden the trail? 100 times on a dh bike and f/f without crashing? might feel inclined to back off the protection after climbing for an hour to get there +What does the person typically ride? one man's xc trail is another's dh trail. and...
