am i crazy or does it seem a bit nuts to have a need to tune some of these forks...I mean the boxxer, 40, and 888 are AMAZING forks out of the box...
just set them up and ride them...why go to these lengths...

I have a Curnutt rear shock on my foes and it is amazing. I have talked to a guy with the 05 Curnutt XTD fork and it is not very good. It has a lot of friction and is not valved very well. The guy who was riding it said that you had to hit stuff very fast to get it to soak up the bumps. At whitface he was on a run and hit something hard and the fork Spiked and broke the internals. I dont know about the F1 thought.
I agree... Foes could have awesome stuff if he dumped the Curnutt valving and ran good seals. ...Maybe some day.
Yeah... I like to run my bike all the way slacked out. A soft fork makes it so I can get my weight on the front wheel when cornering.
The fork dives, the geometry gets steeper, you go around the turn faster. ...this set up works the best for smooth flat corners, the chunkier the corner the less you want your fork to dive. ...In California most of the races and trails have smooth corners.
