hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me out! for ages i have been running my boxxer r2c2 with the medium red spring fitted and very little compression damping and got on fine with them but due to getting fitter i have shed a few pounds of fat and am finding that the medium spring is to stiff now so i fitted a soft yellow spring but find that it is just to soft and even with nearly full compression damping i am finding that i am using full travel way to much and getting some pretty harsh bottom out even with the bottom out adjuster set in its firmest position! the fork was recently serviced by tf tunned and is in great condition so my question is does anyone know of any companys that do inbetween spring weights or have any good ideas for helping me out! cheers

Might be worth taking out the bottom out damper completely and using the medium. That's what I ended up doing with the soft as I was never getting full travel otherwise. At the very least its dead easy to remove and see if you notice a difference. Could potentially try taking out a preload spacer as well although Rockshox don't seem to suggest that there is a great deal of room for adjustment with them.

Common issue is because there is no oil in the lowers, maybe thats why your fork is stiff i suggest you to put some MOTOREX 15wt im sure you will feel a big difference
