Title pretty much says it, fork's first run today. Big surprise - no lockout! Also, the recommended 100 psi for my weight is way too high, cut it down to 25. Also found the rebound was way too turtle, cranked it to 10 clicks to middle position and it worked much better.
The fork comes with 180mm spacing by default, so for the 203 rotor I was stuck as of Friday for a ride today. Mikes Bikes mechanic suggested I try a 160-180 adapter and add spacers on one side. It worked, just barely, but there is weight reduction/simplicity over the funky offset as in the 160-203 adapter - I did run the Fox for a week with the 203's. I have an adapter on order from Amazon but might not use it.
ALSO rather than messing with a Starnut, I also ordered a OneUp tool and threadless installer - worked great. Goal is to run smaller fanny pack/no pack. Carlos has a tube strap for me. Good too since I tore the waist strap off the backpack, making it slammy when taking jumps. Bike ridden at Tamarancho. No lockout on the fork is concerning me a little, but its got 3 controls plus sag pressure I am learning to use.
Now what to do with the spare 150mm Fox? going to check my notes but it measures over 150mm travel like the new fork - I assumed it was 140mm but thats the other Fox. The non-boost forks both need work, maybe sell the working 150 and focus on the 140s/find a shop?
