I seem to remember that one of their guys ran theirs at 210psi
Best bet would be to give them a call they are real friendly

I think I've got mine at 180-200 or so. Though because of the anti-dive I found I could have it softer than other forks anyway.

if you pop this question up on retrobike somebody will probably have the manual / settings.

Used to run 200 psi in mine with a medium spring, and it was still very plush.
They still have some spares for the SUB, have you tried emailing to see if they have a heavy spring?

Found the instructions for mine - it's a Total Air cartridge, I've got the recommended air settings if you can tell me your weight in lbs.

I really like mine - the no-dive works well, and it's simple and tough. Plus the WTF factor is fun. I sold a few back when they were available, but really they were too expensive compared to more normal forks.

That's what put me off at the time, they look awesome though and I'm surprised the bigger company's didn't take up the idea

Okay, according to the chart you should be running 150psi, adjuster #2 for the rebound, and 5 or 6 turns out on the compression damping.

From memory, I found the chart settings a bit soft too, and went 10-20psi over them. There's a warning to never go over 200psi.
