Suspension damping for trail riding
Lee,
How do you like to set rebound and compression on standard trails? Mine are minimum rebound and minimum compression.
Cheers, Martyn

Hey Martyn,
This is a personal thing. If your bike isn’t bottoming, and it doesn’t feel bouncy, you’re probably fine.
Rebound: I run it almost as fast as it will go, just shy of bouncing back.
Compression: I used to run as little as possible; now I run my bikes almost as stiff as they will go. On my Enduro SL with FOX RP23, I usually descend with the ProPedal at full setting. It feels more stable and controlled than at the soft setting. (Note: I do rocky climbs in the lowest ProPedal setting; it hooks up better.) On my Demo 8 with FOX DHX 5.0, I run the ProPedal around the middle setting, the boost chamber up at 170 and the chamber dialed all the way in for a progressive spring curve.
