Track down HAB, Hardtails Are Better he has a BR but spent some time with the DHX5.0 dialing it in. He should have some good input for you. :cornut:
Hardtails Are Better
hehehe... I'm going through quite a progression with the shocks on that bike. First the DHX, then a Roco TST, and I'll be turning that TST into a WC in the next couple of days.
On my BR, I found that running minimal boost pressure and low PP was needed to keep the shof from feeling harsh over choppy, repeated bumps. Your milage may vary on the BS.
One thing I figured out that should be helpful is a progression for the different settings. They're not entirely independant, so as you change one setting, you'll need to mess with the others.
-Start with sag. Get that nailed down first. Set it with the PP knob all the way open, or at least close.
-Then set the rebound. My experience was that the rebound was really finicky, and even small changes in the spring preload dramatically changed how the rebound felt.
-Boost pressure next. Get it dialed so that the bike feels smooth over choppy hits.
-Then tweak the PP to get the pedaling/ small bump/ braking feedback performance you're looking for.
-Once you have all that sorted, get the BO knob set where you want it. The BO knob works by varing the boost chamber volume, so when you change the BO knob setting, you'll need to change the boost pressure.
