Managed 12 miles on it last night doiong local XC type stuff and it there was no real difference to my HT !! except for a few niggles...

I cant bunny hop a full suss bike for shit... ii could pop 12"-18" without even thinking about it on the HT and more if i really tried but this thing i'm lucky if i get 6"-12" :cry:

everything seems to have a delayed reaction, i hit a small 'double' type jump last night, compressed before and the bike didnt pop up like i was expecting it too, i launched into the air and it all felt very 'lazy' ?

had a slight tapping coming through the bars. think its the forks topping out because if i wind the compression down slightly it goes away but the forks become all sloppy at slow speeds or riding up hill ?

Its like learning to ride all over again :o

Yeah if the rebound damping is wound off the fork can top out with a clunk.
