Thanks, i will try running the fork with the correct sag settings.
I havent taken it out on my usual off road trails yet but the rst first platinum seems plush enough for an air fork running up and down the sidewalks compared to my marzocchi mx comp and even compared to a ride buddy's 120mm coil suntour xcr. The fork rebound adjustment is very effective. I like the compression damping adjustments too, it acts like a lockout at high compression damping settings eliminating most of the fork bob while sprinting.
compression damping adjustments are very easy to do on the fly, the knob is at the top of the right fork leg.. Rebound adjustment knob is at the bottom of the fork so you have to get off the bike to adjust this.
The lighter forks, wheels and tires make the suspension react better to bumps, the bike is also noticeably easier to accelerate and flick around
