However, the one thing that I've been a little disappointed with is the plushness of the fork. I started out w/ the pressure at the level indicated on the fork leg for my weight, same pressure in both chambers. It practically felt like a rigid fork at that pressure. So I started dropping it, and am now down to what seems awfully low - like 80psi in the upper chamber (I'm ~160lbs w/o gear on). I dropped the lower chamber pressure down to 70psi, which definitely helped, but I'm still surprised that it is as firm as it is. Even at those pressures, I have yet to use all of the travel (the travel indicator never gets closer than about 1" from the crown). I have not messed with the rebound settings - is that my problem?
As a point of reference, this is the first air fork I've had - my other bikes both have Marz coils.
