I assume the difference in the base valve between ec and fse is due to both models having the same spring ratios stock, and that the fse is 15 kg heavier. If ec is oversprung/undervalved or fse that is undersprung/overvalved i leave to the designers.

Since no suspesnsion experts have yet commented my last post, I have used info from threads here to put together a well guessed valving.

Base valve
22x10
22x10
11x10
19x15
removed crossover here as per glenn's suggestion
17x15
15x15
13x20

My rebound stack has grown significantly
21x10
20x10
19x10
17x10
17x10
15x10
15x10
12x10
This is based on pobit's stack, and I threw in a couple of extra high speed at the bottom for extra compensation of higer spring rates.

I have not made any test runs on this setup yet, but the high speed release from having the fork almost fully compressed is greatly reduced, I can hear a nice 'swoosh' from the rebound stack. It'll probably be a while before any real tests, but I'll keep you posted.
