I have a totem solo air and it feels stiff all through the travel. and i know everyone will say "just let out some air" but then it bottoms like a bitch and i cant find that in between stiff and bottoming out. so i was wondering how i could make the first part of the travel more plush and the last bit stiffer??? any help would be greatly appreciated Smile

try turning the low speed compression all the way down and the high speed all the way up.

Mine feels amazing. Plusher than any other fork I've ever tried (including 888 RC3 ATAs, Fox 40s, Boxxer Races, 66RCVs, etc.). I weigh about 60kg with full riding gear on, and I have the fork set at 25psi with the low speed in the softest setting and the high speed in the hardest setting.

Ok this is going to be useful going to be useful to know as I am buying a bike wich comes stock with argyles, and perhaps this will work with them as well as these forks

cool thank you so much.Salute
do you think it would be possible without switching the oil as i have none lieing around.

No. Even if you manage to catch all the oil you will still end up wiping the damper off so you can handle it. You're gonna lose some oil no matter what.

high speed prevents bottom out low speed is like propedal on a dhx

low speed pretty much is small bump sensitivity/how high it will sit in its travel

Remember that high/low speed compression is not the same as begging and end stroke compression.

A thinner oil wont help, RS only use oil for lube not dampening
