revelation xx worldcup fork dilema.

jonnyashworth

I recently purchased a 2011 revelation xx worldcup 150 fork. It has solo airdual position spring and the xx damper.
I really like the fork on the whole. The hydraulic lockout is brilliant and I have found the dual position to be a handy feature too however.......
I find that if I set the sag at 20% of total travel that the spring ramps up a bit too much as I go through the travel and even on a hard ride that includes some pretty big hits I only ever manage to use about 80% of the potential travel (at most).
If I set the sag at 25% of total travel available that I do manage to use 90-95% of the potential travel available but then suffer too much brake dive.
The fork does not have any high / low speed compression. So is there anything I can do?
If not is there anything TF tuned could do???

Even so, we still found the spring rate to ramp up a little too aggressively, making it tough – though not impossible – to eke out the last few millimeters of travel even when pressures were set significantly lower than recommended (we eventually settled on a full 20psi below the printed guidelines and a +5psi pressure differential in the negative chamber) to get our desired level of sag.

I thought that was for a dual air spring. Not the solo air dual position one. I did read that first and I did say I have experimented with pressures. but thanks all the same.

This is a failing of the damper on this fork - no independent low speed compression damping adjustment.

Yeah I guessed as much but is there anything I can do about it?

It's the price you pay for the hydraulic lock-out.

So you reckon I should swap the damper for a moco one??

It's pretty much the only option to get the performance you want.
