Default suspension help oil/piston ?

hi on my xb4 , at the front i'm running 2 hole 1.4mm pistons with 30wt oil , but im thinking of going back to 3 hole 1.3 hole and 30wt oil , to get a subtle / slightly softer feeling ..

or should i keep the 2 hole and drop to 27.5wt oil ...

whats best to get a very subtle setting ...

cheers

What are you trying to achieve? If you can describe in terms of how you want the car to be different at what point in the corner (entry, mid, exit) or over what types of surfaces/jumps I should be able to advise.

Best advice though ... swap the Xray for a Lazer

Shaun

2 hole 1.5 and 1.6mm respectively 32.5 front 27.5 rear!
Works well at TORCH and was smooth indoors at Silverstone as well!

For more pack you can try 2x1,3mm and 30wt (UR).

In touring I was taught a simple theory, oils effect initial turn in, then its springs for mid corner.
