Again any thoughts or recommendations ?
I don't like progressive springs... They make it harder to get the sags right..
But will give a plusher ride over small chatter bumps...
I have found 20 weight oil works the best in the XT forks..
With 5 or 10 weight you have very little to no damping..

With you and yer gear on the bike should settle "sag" 75mm on it's suspension.. 1/3 of it's travel..
