Damping alters, not preload. |

True. In Road mode it's the most obvious when rolling to a stop, and then taking off again. Lots of fork movement. It would be nice to have a fork damping setting somewhere between Dynamic and Road. |

Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #4 On my bike the fork action is stiff when hitting sharp bumps and doesn't move all that much. Actually I can hardly tell any difference between Dynamic and Road settings. The ride only settles down when carrying a heavy load, which I rarely do.

A question regarding dynamic ESA and front suspension: if the fork oil is replaced with oil of a different weight, will ESA compensate this or will the fork feel different?

Zitat von gunter im Beitrag #6 As only the damping settings are changed yes, changing the oil will alter the actual damping of the fork. The trouble is, if you change the oil viscosity it will improve one and make the other worse...... |

Not exactly sure how it's accomplished, but it would be great if the taper of the damping needle could be changed/replaced (like different needles for carbs). Or if it could be indexed different within the adjusting mechanism. I would hate to feel these forks on dynamic with heavier fluid |
