my bike is mainly used for freeride instead of actual racing. while i love the stable platform offered by the curnutt, it seems too soft otherwise, bottoming easily on larger hits. i'm already running the max pressure (100 psi) and even a #500 spring (foes reccommends a #350, but that is WAY too soft for my liking) the platform make the bike jump like a brick and very hard to bunnyhop. i am hoping to make the bike more progressive, as the linear rate dosen't work so well with my riding style.
since this bike sees a lot of big huck/gaps and lots of jumping. i'd like to make the bike slightly more lively, while not blowing thru the travel easily like it currently does.
plus, i've read on this board a few times that the curnutt is not the optimum shock for heavy hits...... i have very limited knowledge about the avys but i hear all the raves about them. so i am wondering if swapping out the curnutt for an avy is a good idea....
