Do you mean the spring on the IFP? It just needs to be strong enough to stop cavitation. It won't have any noticeable effect on your compression valving. Also if you get the spring length wrong it can coil bind before the self bleed ports are open.Late night damper mod and bleed.
Been gathering a bunch of random small springs (because I had no idea what size I needed ) to swap the weak arse compression base valve spring for something a bit stiffer. Then re-bled the damper with Motorex 2.5w.

Nah not the IFP spring, just the small poppet spring for the LSC bypass circuit. Been reading a bit on the MTBR thread for this damper and one of the theories is that on fast repeated hits (braking bumps etc) the LSC plate tends to float and you get bypass on compressions as well which is kind of how it felt up at buller recently.Do you mean the spring on the IFP?

What are your trying to achieve with the mod?
It looks like the SR Suntour damper from a duroluxInteresting. Which charger is that?
Just the Charger RC.Interesting. Which charger is that?
Update - tyre is rooted.Signed up for this weekends dusk to dark 3hr at Coondoo, so decided to get some pre-work laps in.
20 mins in, feeling fast, then cop a rear flat. No probs, rope plugs seal well enough, but my Pro components XS pump wont get the tyre to a pressure that I can ride.
Walk for 40 mins, then 5 mins from the carpark a lovely bloke named Ross drove down the fire trail to pick me up and drop me too my car. Bloody legend.
Off to the LBS for a better pump I guess.

Might need a mud tyre for the race this weekend..Update - tyre is rooted.
Won't hold over 15 psi no matter how many plugs and how much sealant I put in.
Off to the LBS I go!
I was thinking that. I still have the Schwable Hans Dampf that came on there, that'd be decently suited I think.Might need a mud tyre for the race this weekend..
I haven't as I think I'll be in Canberra on the weekend.You entered @Tubbsy?
Even on a good dayThat sandy, gritty mud gets everywhere you don't want it.
