I used to have one of these (this one is not mine, it's another poster's):
Then it broke and I had to get a new frame and it turned into this:
Then that frame cracked and Giant would not replace the frame. So I took all the parts I could and moved it over to this:

I'm sure they'll appreciate your insightful commentary, bikerdfresh, regardless of the fact that those posts are about a year and a half old.

Is it possible that SIDwc-Fork is not able to use full 80mm travel?
SORRY But I´ll try again,and hope I´m able to write coherent now. =O.K.? (feel free to to amend a fault)
<< I can´t find "SID´06 SETTING .pdf>>
= I can not find a pdf(AdobeAcrobateReaderFile)with Setting-information for a SID Wourldcup 2006year Fork.
<< all I can find is SERVICE and INSTALL.pdf´s! >>
=I only found pdf-files with informationsabout serviceGuide(leg removal,Upgrading from Pure to Motioncontrol) and installing(Fork and
LockOut-lever).
<< CAN you PLEASE -send download link?>>
=Can you PLEASE send a web-link where I candownload a pdf(AdobeAcrobateReaderFile)?
<< (I´ve read that SID´06 don´t use the full 80mm travel?)>>
=On a forum-site I´ve readthat the SID Wourldcup-Fork can not use the full 80mm of Fork-travel. (Inside my Fork there is
no 65mm-travel-reducer installed) still I can´t get more than 65mm of travel, even when I empty
both air-chambers. Do you know anything about this issue?
<<-THANKS-you help´d me a lot->>
=Thank you.You helped me a lot with prior answers. PLEASE, let me know, if you know anything about.
I hope I was able to write generally intelligible this time. (usually I got not much time. Because I ride daily,I work,I study,I travel....)+~SORRY

-THANK-you- a LOT. & sorry for my "shortcut-English"
English isn't his native language, and he probably does better at English than you or I would do at his native language *laugh*
I just used the SID owners manual from SRAM's service site.
It essentially suggests using half your body weight as a starting pooint for positive pressure, and about 10-20% less for negative pressure, if I recall, and tweaking it from there to your personal preference. Rebound is set using the curb test (one bounce rolling off a normal street curb) and always fill positive chamber before negative. I found flipping the boike upside down to fill or adjust the negative chamber on an SID greatly reduces the oil spraying out of the shock when you check it with a shock pump. otherwise, you get oil everywhere.

I could need some informations about: MOTION CONTROL, and FLOODGATE setup.I´m about to cut steerer tube. How do I get "STARNUT" in place? Needs to go about half inch more inside.
It is a special STARNUT for CARBON-tube.
I know approximately how to setup positive and negative air.(got SID from 2003 since 3years)-THAN X-
{by the way: I speak German,Serbian,Croatian fluently. I am learning Spanish and Italian since 3years}
So SORRY for confusion!!
