I now have a reasonable understanding of the fork workings thanks to a broken top-out spring that required complete dissasembly. Previously I have spent the bucks and got the "professionals" to redo my forks to reduce deflection, complete waste of money as far as I'm concerned so after seeing the internals I know I can easilly modify the shims myself, of course knowing what to modify is the trick. The piston would seem to be the main player but the compression shims are held by a very light spring and would appear to open fully with minimal force, on the other hand the bottom shim stack is very robust and it is hard to imagine that any force could bend them enough to flow a significant amount. My logic tells me I should be making the bottom shims less rigid to allow for fast movement and forget about the piston as it seems more for slow movement, am I on the right track?
