Hey all,

Just installed some new Flight Attendent on my 2023 Blur.

Setting up the suspension and I have two different references.

Rock Shox Trailhead and the Santa Cruz website show the same for the fork. They show the same pressure for the shock, but differ greatly with rebound clicks.

Trailhead says -7 clicks
Santa Cruz says -4 clicks

This is quite a difference... which one would you pick? Gathering Santa Cruz would have a custom tube so maybe their website is more specific?

Cheers

It is odd that they'd be so different (maybe one is from closed and the other from open?), but it shouldn't take more than one ride around the block (preferably bumpy) to figure out which one is better.

Suggested set-ups are a starting point. They are not the end.

Yeah the both are from fully closed/clockwise. Just thought it was strange they are so far out!

Cheers
