SILVER Star
Just returned from 5 days in Canyonlands and my initial impression of the 60/65 valving is this: A touch light on the rebound, and a fair bit heavy on the compression. So, I'll be re-valving the fronts to something in the area of 40/70.
The driving in the maze was a mix of washboard, 40mph dirt roads, and slow 4wheeling. Was loaded with 120lbs of water, 80lbs of extra gas, 60lbs of snow chains, plus tools, food, 2 people, gear, 2 bikes, roof box, chairs, etc. The 60/65 reminded me quite a bit of the Nitrochargers. Bounces around quite a bit on the washboards and doesn't seem to soak up the small quick hits, but instead transfers them directly to my spine At really slow speeds they seemed to work well but swayed a bit more than ideal. At any rate, the fun continues!
EXCELLENT report, thanks for taking the time to write it all up. It really helps us to understand the Fox valving concept. What were the tire pressures?
