Hello!

I think I have adressed some similar topics in the past: I have a RS L R2C DH 2-Step fork. I think its a bit unsensitive over smalbumps. Someone told me to remove the fooldgate: well that´s a good idea. But my fork don´t have a floodgate. Soo that can not be done.

I wonder if anyone has tested both options and have som hints to give how big the difference really is between the Solo air and the solo air 2 step.

Thank´s

    are you asking how they ride or how to convert?

    According to tf tuned:

    Basically the 2-step (or indeed any travel adjust air fork) with have a lot more seals than a solo air one. All these seals have to be air tight so they remove a lot of the suppleness to small bumps. You should be able to notice a big difference in the small bump sensitivity on a solo air vs. 2-step

    According to me:

    Removing the floodgate will do precisely nothing for sensitivity.
