Anyone got some user tested air settings for me? The recommended levels from SRAM and printed on the fork make my fork feel like garbage*

I'm hoping that it's not just a case of needing to suck it up and "ride faster - the Boxxer is for racing - it's supposed to be sprung stiff".

2010 air pressures shouldn't be useful, as the spring side is completely reworked for 2011.

Your weight as well pls, for reference.


*Garbage means really oversprung and not at all plush. Rebound is super slow and it hasn't even come close to bottom out, which i can usually do with my body weight and a hefty effort.

I can't ride much right now, but i can obssess over the details. Last fork was a 888 WC Ti, and i cry almost every time i see it on the wifes bike.

How much you weigh would help.


I don't have info on the Boxxer WC specifically, but all the RS air forks I've owned recently suggested way higher pressures than were reasonable. Ignore that ****.

Isn't there a sag indicator on all boxxers? For oversprung just get proper sag. Set mine a bit below 30% and it feels fine.

For mine I run 70 psi weigh (165lbs), I find the air charts that Rock Shox recommend to be a little soft for my taste. I also run a lot more compression and rebound than they recommend too. But thats by only 2 or 3 clicks more i'd say.
