    So I find myself a bit confused about setting rebound. Does the "hard" adjustment setting = a faster rebound?

    Thanks

    hard / more / clockwise / +

    means it returns slower.

    Thanks for answering.

    There is still a LOT of confusion about Rebound and Compression damping on many forums by itself..
    ......not to mention how poorly transcribed the Husky manuals are.

    If you just think of the adjusting screws as little valves (because they are). As you open them (counter clock wise), more oil is bypassed around your shim stacks and allows the shock/fork to move more freely. And conversely...

    No problem.

    Note your current clicker settings and then turn one at a time all the way in and bounce up and down on it, then turn it all the way out and bounce on it and you should feel the difference and what it is doing.

    There is a limit to what they'll do, however. Clickers fine tune a properly sprung and valved suspension.

    all good info. what bike. generally husky valves light on reb. i have gone stiffer with reb 9/ 10 out with stock settings. if you get susp re done make sure they change reb stack.
