Hi there. I’ve been riding hardtails and very low end forks pretty much all of my life, so I’ve never really cared about suspension settings (other than the pressure).

Now, I’ve just bought a 2021 Stumpjumper (fork: Fox 34 Rhythm, Grip Damper; shock: Fox Float Performance) and I’m pretty much clueless about how to set it up. I have no idea how some settings change the rideability of the bike and some theoretical information would be very useful. Could you help me understand some of the terms and how they affect the ride?

Low/high Speed Compression:

Low/high speed rebound:

Volume spacers:

Pressure relief valves:

Tokens (same as volume spacers?):

Thank you in advance!
