Volume Spacers in Lyrik Ultimates

I'm a little heavier than you - 95kg, running about 95 psi with 2 tokens, no HSC and 'a few clicks' (would need to check) of LSC. These are 160mm forks. Set up for Stainburn (take off some LSC there), Yearsley, Kilburn - more enduro-y type stuff.

Sounds quite low pressure - what travel and wheel size?

took mine out and put a smashpot in, way better now

The trouble with shockwiz, and I have two of them, is that you teach it how much travel you have and then it tries to use all the travel.

This often results in low pressure and lots of tokens. The downside of this can be that you end up too far into the midstroke.

Depends on what you want but I like to run higher pressure and fewer tokens.

Shockwiz can be a useful guide but it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

I'm in same ballpark as willjones. 95kg ish. Lyrik select+ 170mm 29er and run about 85-90psi ish. Dropped down to 1 token which I prefer over the two I was running previously.
Quite rarely use full travel, has to be a massive hit.

Sorry should have said these are 150 travel.

Thanks for thoughts so far.

FYI I’m just under 80kg now, with 100psi in a 160mm Lyrik RC2 on my Levo (so that’s about 8kg heavier than a non-e bike). Used to have two volume spacers but now I’m about 8kg lighter I just need one.

That’s the 2019 air spring (B2?) My hardtail has the same fork with the newer (C1?) air spring and is also on one token and I think about 15psi less - I’ll check!

This is really helpful!

Think im with Onzagog - Just rechecked the sag and its a full third (50mm) rather than Cotic's suggested 37mm (its a Jeht). This is clearly wrong. So correct sag set (@80psi) and down to 1 volume spacer. Will see how it gets on tonight.

I was running about the same as you (65psi and 2 tokens) which always felt OK.  Was getting as good as full travel but was never completely happy with them.

However, when I bought a new shock recently from Mojo, Chris Porter advised 1 token and kg bodyweight + 10%-15% in terms of psi pressure with all the compression wound off so currently running at 90-95 psi (but with a couple of clicks of LSC).

You don't get the same small bump sensitivity when bimbling along but when things get fast and lairy the forks are so much more controlled and don't blow through the travel as easily.

So I'd drop a token and up the pressure.

Thanks Crag - that's affirming, as that's about where I've ended up. Does anyone care to comment on rebound?

Interesting, lyrik select+ 170mm 29'er for me and it never felt better then when I ran 1 token, 100PSI and no compression which is matches what Chris Porter said. I sinc purchased a DSD Runt trying to chase small bump and ended up with a set up great for slow winter trails but too soft and divey for summer speed!

I'm running mine about 6 from fully fast.

So my hardtail’s Lyrik 160mm are at 80psi. That bike has a longer reach and shorter rear than my Levo and I definitely don’t ride it as smashily, so it makes sense that I’m running the fork softer, as I’m not loading it as heavily.

Regarding LSC and HSC, on both I have the HSC either open or on 1 click. And the LSC I have about 2/3 of the way to closed on my local trails (10 clicks?) but open it up a bit more on rougher stuff.
