My experience is everything fully closed (max. damping) for my 85 kg, and still too soft :wink:
Now with Hyperpro's it's better :-D

GStar, if you could give the settings in simple turns and distances, I think it would be easier to understand:
eg:

Front Preload x rings showing
Frount rebound damping x turns out from full in
Front comp damping x turns out from full in
Rear Preload x mm of thread showing
Rear Rebound Damping x turns out from full in
Rear Comp damping x turns out from full in.

Same can go for the sags front and rear, static and laden.
