Fox 40 Float tuning and setup?

190 pounds? Do you eat lead and tungsten sprinkled with uranium 3 meals a day??

2014 fox float 40
180 lbs.
75 psi
3 spacers below plunger, 5 spacers above, no volume reduction spacers
rebound - some.
High speed compression 6-8 click + from full -
Low speed compression 3-4 clicks + from full -

I adjust compression based on feel, usually opening it up fully for my first practice run and then adding a few clicks as I start riding faster/get warmed up. I usually end up with 2x as many High speed clicks as low speed clicks. No Rhyme or reason, it's just what feels right for me.

I have zero world cup podiums to date. cat 1 30-39


wife
140lbs
55 psi
4 spacers above plunger, 4 spacers below
rebound - some
high speed compression 2 clicks from full -
Low speed, zero clicks from full - (turned all the way counter clockwise)

Have you tried adding moar rux?

HELLO! Also? BUMPity.

Got a 2015 Float Fit 40 RC2 Factory Fandango Fapparoo.

Clueless on the clicks, running mostly centered Feels great until I get chunky then it feels too harsh.
Me ~220 in gear

80psi
15 clicks from CLOSED LSC
14 clicks from CLOSED HSC
5 clicks from CLOSED R/LSR

I think that translates to 11, 8, ?. (LSC, HSC, R) from OPEN.

No idea on the spacer/plunger situation until I open her up this evening.

Not a monster, just like to smash trails a bit.


I think too much, someone help.

Click to expand...

80 psi seems low at that weight and relying a lot on compression. My fork rarely feels harsh and I am running closer to 75 psi and down to 170 this year.

Try adding some air, running compression closer to open and adjusting volume spacers to make fork slightly more progressive. At least that's the mindset I have taken with mine and it seems to be plush when I want it to be, firm when I need it to be, and rides up in the travel and rarely bottoms
