2012 Scott Scale 29er Pro

I have the same bike, your post is an inspiration!
Have you done any mods to the fork. Setting the secondary air (bottom of fork),,,seems hard to get consistent changes with the small volume of air in secondary

Thx for the kind words. Welcome to WW. You should post your Scott Scale 29'er Pro on the site...

My Scott MTB has been a reliable, smile-inducing machine. Tubeless has saved me more times than I can count and I've generally acclimated to wide-ish bars. The new XTR / XT brakes and Eagle AXS shifting are lovely; however, I feel like the gearing gaps are too wide with 1x12t.

As for my SID fork, I watched an online video that helped me "set it." I'm far from a MTB pro, so bear with me. There's a 11ish position dial on it (rebound?) that I set in the middle position. Then I set the top and bottom air chambers according to my weight - bottom chamber first, I think.

I'm still a roadie through and through, but I really enjoy the few times each year that I ride my MTB. Despite being timid in the roughest stuff, I've successfully ridden the >70mi Wild Horse course twice (would've ridden it this year, but the world intervened) and the 100mi White Rim in a Day (WRIAD). My MTB is also my machine of choice when I tool around the neighborhood with my son. Good vibes!

Rebound needs to be as fast as possible

Thanks for the heads-up. I have no idea what I'm doing in the dirt! Just groping my way through it. Do you have an informative video link?

I should clarify my rebound dial "set-up" comment... I re-set it in the middle position with the idea that I could experiment from a known baseline. I don't recall where my Rockshox SID rebound dial was set previously, but I don't think it was in the middle.

Choosing an appopriate psi for my MTB is another challenge. As a roadie, I'm apt to go way too high! I'm listening to other riders and experimenting with lower psi's.
