Hello!
I ride a RockShox Lyric RC 2 DH - 2011. Adjustable travel from 160 to 120 mm - or something like that.
It´s my first airfork (previous I have riden Boxxer Race on my DH bike and Tora 130-85 mm on my trailbike). I think that the Lyric is even more hard and unsensitive on small bumps than the Boxxer Race. And I think that I feelt that the Tora were a lot smoother than the Lyric. However: I think that big hit performance is way may better on the Lyric compared to Tora.
I ride mostly rough terrain: rock´s and roots. And speed. In short: enduro / allmountain riding.
To be honest: I feel that the tracktion sucks with this fork.
Anybody else who have the same experience?
Any advice on the set up: I will try super soft air pressure for my weight (80 kg) (about 80 PSI - compared to recomended 90-100 psi) and try to push up rebound to 14-15 clicks and low speed compression to about 4-5 clicks and the same for high speed compression.
In generall I don´t like to mixture a lot. I like to ride.
I am about to give up and swap back to a coil fork. Like a Marzocchi 55 or 66.

Google "Lyrik floodgate mod". It gives a noticable increase in small-bump sensitivity while retaining the big-hit ability too.0

Could be worth a try beafore selling the bike or buying a 1000 Euro fork....
Thank´s

I know someone (an ex World Cup mechanic) who's bought a Lyrik and loves it, but he's going to do the floodgate mod as well.0
