Thanks. I tried what Mike said on adjusting the rebound damping, but that too seems hardly noticable. I'm wondering if this fork may be garbage, tho i can't imagine anything less than a decent fork on a $1300 bike. That may not be a lot compared to many MTB's, but i would think the fork would at least be adjustable to a noticable degree. I'll be going out today for my first ride, and if i find it's too soft i guess i'll have to lock it out. That would really bother me tho since a full suspension bike shouldn't have to be used locked. May as well have bought a non-suspension bike in that case.

But before i get all worked up, it'll probably be fine because as i said, i'm new to this and i really don't know what it's supposed to feel like.
