Flatly, this bike is a pogo stick, especially in colder temps - 55°. I've tried tuning the rebound and sag, and had a LBS do a service on it. But nothing seems to affect the low speed rebound. Things seem fine on small jumps and drops, but simply riding over a trail that's mildly choppy from horses and hikers wears me out. Going down chunky stuff is a bit dangerous due to loss of traction from the excessive rebound.
Is there anything that can be done for this fork, or should I simply look to get a Fox 34?

HELP

I'm also fighting similar issues with the rear shock too - Fox Performance Float.

i dont think it feels like a pogo stick, but it doesnt like choppy terrain. i have a fox 34 performance 130mm on order.

Yea, it's not really a pogo stick, but it sure is overly poppy.. From what I'm reading elsewhere, this might be caused by tight bushings. I'll have to investigate further.

That seems to be backed up by the fact this issue was hardly present on warm days - 80°+. Now that temps are getting cooler, the metal is contracted and creating a tight fit again.
