Gt rebound setting.

[Darren Betker]

2006 gt ec ohlins.
So let me get this straight. If i start with the clicks all the way out... (counterclockwise).....and i want a smooth ride.....as slow of a rebound as possible......do i leave it all the way out or all the way in?
Again im looking for simply a smooth ride. I want to eliminate the rebound from bucking me off the sled on the way up. Nice slow return . All the way clockwise from looking forward to the front of the sled or all the way out....counterclickwise.
Simple question. In or out to slow down rebound.

Turning the knob clockwise will slow the rebound, but, you can go to far. You can sack the shock. Which doesn't allow the shock to rebound enough before the next compression stroke. All the way counter clockwise lets the shock rebound the fastest, which gives you the kick back.
If the shock is originally valved to eliminate the kick back a revalve might be needed.
I couldn't get my attack gt right without having the valving changed,and also rider weight is the biggest factor.

Just got the shock back from a complete rebuild and revalve to my weight/riding style......which due to my back is as soft as humanly possible. With the big boy spring as well. He recomended staring to go in fro 3 clicks in. Im at 5 clicks in and really cant tell a difference. Guess i just gotto go further in. And the fun begins....lol
