this is a long question simply cause it contains a lot of tech information and i want to figure this out so i can use it properly when i need to during the season and maybe so others can draw info from it
i already did a effing search gdmiT (cartman voice) ... did not find much on the 6way for a giant dh

I got a giant dh comp with a manitou 6way ive been messing around with the different adjustments
I put in 55 psi instead of the recommended 70-75 psi for my weight for fun
I don't have much pre load on the spring its a 450 maybe 2 or 3 turns
I'm not using much rebound dampening. no high speed adjustments just yet
Im not concerned about absolute pedaling efficency.. it pedals well now by my standards with 55 psi and a little LS compression
I'm not gonna mess with the bottom out control knob on top of the resevoir.
I'm gonna mess slightly more with the HS compression situations on a race course that would require it higher speeds or what not odd hits things like that I have two or three turns on the LS compression to aid pp/air volume
Is the pedaling platform/air volume adjustment a larger version of the LS compression ?
Would the above sentence/question hold true for the bottom out knob and the high speed compression adjustment?
this is the way i see let me know if your version differs
I'm coming off an old fox vannilla r
looking to make the shock active like a fox while taking advantage of the pedaling platform air volume dealie and the compression adjustments as race courses dictate.
For instance if its a steep course with no pedaling screw the pp right? Or is it needed for the shock to function properaly with killing it?
How much of a patch can the LS compression be for running a lower air volume with out risking shock damage?
What type of settings have you run and found a succesful base to adjust and return to?
I weigh about 140-145 or so and dont do anything over 8 feet hence
No reason for using the bottom out knob unless it starts up cause I think the 450 spring will take it with properly adjusted airvolume
