Who has Gold Valves in their forks?
#11
I went with the 100mm air gap after goldvalving as well. Even with the appropriate shimstack, I've thought I'd like to try a bigger airgap like 120mm. At 100mm I still have a hard time bottoming the forks out and they're still a little naughtier over the trail trash than I'd like. I'm thinking the 120mm gap would kill both birds with one stone.

If you feel a little too much harshness in the beginning travel portion of your fork...like over the rubble that you describe...you may need either a softer spring or lighter compression damping...and in some cases a little of both.

The new CRF450 and the KX450F have air forks.
