Heh, you're in a bit over my head. I'm running a shock off an '09 bike, and it works for me and gets about the right sag, so I've left it at that.

Paging @rojoracing53 because he knows a good deal about suspension and did a nice write-up the other day.

PM'd you back. Are you able to adjust the compression damping on your Ohlins shock as well? From my MTB experience, the rebound damping controls how much the bike squats/pogo's over repeated hits, while the compression damping is what controls how much 'feel' or bounce the bike intially has on the bump. Sounds like when you remove rebound damping, the bike bounces back up too quickly and upsets it? Is that what I'm getting here?

sag should be in 30 mm according to rojo.
