I'm just wondering about how stiff they are usually sprung, what damping settings ETC.

Thanks!

I have a Transition Vagrant with a domain 318 u-turn on it, i use it as a do it all bike, including DJ. It works well, but i never really change any settings when i drop the travel for the DJs. I want to see what it feels like to have a properly set up (or as close as i can get) suspension for the DJs

Usually not a whole lot of give unless you hit something real hard. They're firm to prevent bob and to prevent the lips from sucking up all your energy.

Stiff as hell, slow rebound. Minimal travel.

yup, just cruising around down i dont notice my DJ1 fork compressing more than 30 - 40mm out of the 100mm traveil it has...

Of the DJ at santos or here in miami ive seen it move a bit more, but not all the way like on my xc / am bike...

The rebound on my forks has never been set very slow...

I like my rebound quick. I like a little plushness though... I like it to feel more like a mountain bike than my 20".

...I've been on the same fork for almost a year now and after riding mostly street with some park and a little dirt, it is still running like a champ. The rebound still works, the platform works and it doesn't leak any air at all. It's been through a lot while I was progressing... Just take care of it and you could ride the same fork for a couple of years.
