I've heard that Treks are being spec'd with this new fork from Manitou. Has anyone heard any details?
Nice shitstomper!
I'm 255 and I run all 4 IVA tokens above the piston/seal. I then run 95 psi (on my Fox pump) and that seems to be a really good balance between bottoming resistance on jumps and plushness in the chatter. I run high speed all the way out and compression 2 clicks in. You might start around there..I'm a 250lb rider, and am still playing with the suspension settings. I have run just over 100 pounds of pressure and use all the travel on jumps and small drops to flat (2' or so). I am going to play around with the volume spaces to see if I can make it a bit more progressive.
Not much fuss at all with the tools and supplies on hand. I followed the manual and was done in 30 minutes or so the first time and would expect to be able to go much faster.I just bit the Bullet and did the same,but got the ext comp version.How much fuss was pulling it apart to extend the travel to 140,as this is what I also intend to do>Cant get over what a massive fork it is!!

I would guess the same but I've never done it yetNow that I think about it... Can anyone tell me: The stock configuration for my comp fork has 2 spacers above the seal and two spacers below the seal on the volume adjust. If I want to make the shock stiffer at the end of the travel, I would REDUCE the air volume, and this means moving spacers from below the seal to above the seal... Right?
On a RockShox fork I'd add tokens. The equivalent operation on the Mastodon would be to move spacers above the seal, correct?
Interesting. We’ll be sure to experiment with zero compression. Anyone else have @Jayem ’s experience?Well, I find the compression damping settings to be utterly useless. Even "1" on the LSC makes it overly harsh. Same with the HSC. I'm 165-170lbs. You can use the LSC like a lockout, which I assume is why there's the big tab/hook on the lever, but it just lets you go between the more open setting and what some may call "climb".
