I've never really understood the point of compression damping. In my mind you want a shock to compress as quickly as possible when you hit a bump - I understand completely the value of getting your rebound damping right, but don't get why you'd want to slow down the compression of the shock.
I always run my bikes with compression damping fully off, whether it's a fox, 5th or (in this case) RS deluxe.
Also doesn't winding the compression damping on increase the likelyhood of "blowing" the shock?
Is it purely to stop from bottoming the shock out? So if you've got it fully wound out and you don't bottom it you should leave it like that?
