yeah slightly out of sync otherwise the road surface bumps would not be reinforcing the pogo-ing.. it is like a swing where you kick at the right time to swing higher.

I did a google search and it there is conflicting advice. The advice that makes sense to me is that a bike lacking rebound damping will act as though it is just a spring - and you will pogo over undulations. The ease with which the front dives under braking makes me think this front end isn't well damped.

But another bit of advice says TOO MUCH rebound damping causes pogo-ing (I don't see how).

I'm not sure if its fair to judge a front shock based on undulating surfaces of a resonant frequency, though.
