Bought a TruTune MTB Air Fork Insert, Short for Rockshox/EMTB.
Insert arrived early yesterday so put it in my Zeb A2 (2023) 160mm forks (no tokens). Previously had about 66 psi which gave about 30% sag (am 80kg ready to ride,), HSC and LSC in middle, 4 clicks of rebound from fully open. Trek Rail alloy with Ohlins coil shock.
Setting air pressure to about 76psi (+10 psi) gave about 30% sag. Then early afternoon the sky cleared, the sun came out, and a window appeared in Ciaran storm weather. Surprisingly for this time of year was ~14C.
Because am particularly interested in small bump performance did a one hour 10 miler on a route we frequently use to see what small bumps performance felt like. This route has a lot of chalky terrain embedded with flint, loose patches, typical UK South Downs terrain.
Is what the Trutune blurb says, but small bumps now felt like they had been softened and the sharpness removed, was really quite surprised. No loss of grip.
Going to mess around with air pressure some more when the weather improves - being on open terrain in 30+ knot winds with rain isn't my bag ...
Couldn't test bottom out on the route because could see storm Ciaran coming in over the Isle of Wight and Solent.

What did you buy your ebike this week?
One of the recent purchases from China, a new chin mount as I broke the last one in the accident, the other was airtag under bottle cage mount with safety bolts. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyVvLcF
