Than you for such a geat explanation guys! one of the best videos on that topic on RUclips.
I have a question. When you guys recommend the 2.5 inches travel does the bump stop height is also taken into consideration within that range of motion? For example, I have 2.5in travel for compression and my bump stop is 1.5in height would my compression travel be 1in only or is it still 2.5in?
