I gots me some Fork questions....

the set-up I'm running seems to have good compression but the rebound is SLOW. So i added some spacers for preload with very little result.

Anyone want to share their fork set-up techniques?

Rosko,
Is it possible that you have some binding in the set up. I usually set the fork up by having all the associated bolts and nuts loose and then working the front wheel back and forth then progressively tightening all the pinch bolts and fender bolts and such so thet there is no stresses on them. If you elevate the front end and remove the fork caps and springs does the fork move smoothly up and down? If not then you might have a problem.
