Hi there,

Curious if anyone has got any valving work done to the ESA forks?

I'm finding the rebound response a too quick, I'd like road setting to be similar to dynamic and dynamic slowed down even more. Compression damping is good enough for now if a bit crashy.

I'd add that you're Aus. I'd have recommended MCT but they are a long way away.

Thanks good point, the question is as much on if anyone has messed with the valving and where.

Your description suggests that just going to one heavier fluid might do what you are looking for. Also pretty cheap as a trial fix.

Yeah I can do that and do it myself but curious on the better fix... suspension is a area I am quite fussy with, particularly the rebound circuit.
