Hi,
I finally got around to playing with my Sherman Breakout fork yesterday. I figured I would set SPV really low for a super smooth ride, I don't mind some fork movement anyway. So I set it at about 35 psi, and tested it out. First I just applied the front brake and pushed down, when rebounding it seemed quite sticky and jerky, it extended quite poorly. So then I ride it around, it feels really smooth cutting through its travel, but there is definaly something wrong with the way it rebounds at low pressures. Do I just need to break it in? Is there a problem?
Also, am I the only one who thinks that the rebound adjusters on forks don't make any difference? Someone please tell me if "more rebound damping" means faster or slower rebound, because honestly I can't tell the difference.
When adjusting the hex nut, how far do you have to turn it to see some difference? I think I've heard stories of people completely removing the nut and spilling oil all over, but that could be a different fork.
Thanks alot,
Tharkun
