The rebound setting is odd. Slow and fast marked on the shock seem to have the opposite effect. Twisting the adjuster all the way to slow made the bike unbearable to ride. Harsh and excessively vibrating and hard to control. Felt like a geo metro with bad struts on a cobblestone road, but the pavement beneath me was fresh and new. I adjusted it all the way fast, and that is more like what I expected. Slow response to shock input made the ride plusher and I even got a little wallow in fast corners. The busted struts feeling is mostly gone. It doesn’t get quite soft enough for really rough dirt roads, but it’s goos enough. Out of 15 settings, the fastest works for a mostly fire road ride. Two or three clicks from max is fine on the street. Anything more is far too harsh.
So either my understanding of fast and slow rebound dampening is wrong, or Zongshen printed the words on the shock wrong.
