TrueTone spacers (I meant TruTune)

Use "Search" for "Trutune" plenty of info.
I recently fitted a Trutune insert into my Fox 38 grip performance, a real revelation!
I followed Trutune's set up recommendations and my fork is now so supple off the bottom and better supported mid-range.
As I am a big guy (250lbs) I need to run a high pressure in my forks to get the desired sag and because of this, the fork tended to be less compliant off the bottom.
With the insert fitted, I actually added 15psi more to get the correct sag and retained the original one token, which I'll probably remove some time in the future as I'm only getting 75% of the travel.
I can't believe how something so simple and relatively cheap can make such a difference.

I fitted one to my E-Tuned 36 Rhythm on a Spectral on that was not using the full travel.
I'm light at 65KG fully togged up.
It made a massive difference to the sensitivity of the fork and the travel used. Very plush and it allows you to hammer through rock gardens. The Rhythm fork gets a bit out of its depth in really rocky terrain but the TruTune Insert stops the worst hits hammering your body.
However, I also fitted one to the Fox factory fork on my StumpJumper Pro from new.
It completely messed up the damping and was harsh as hell. I messed about with the air, comp and rebound settings trying to find a good set up. All to no avail.
It was only when I removed the Trutune Insert that the fork finally started to work like a grip2 damper should. Plush and controlled over all types of terrain.
So maybe it is more suitable to a damper like the Grip. Nothing wrong with the basic grip though and in a lot of situations, I think it is better than the grip2 or X.
Mainly because you can quickly change the compression damping to suit the terrain with a quick turn of the dial.

It’s good to hear that it seemed to work better in the simpler forks, especially as they’ll probably be going in a Performance 38 with Grip damper for my wife’s bike and a Domain Gold RC for me.
Annoyingly I thought it was the Old Domain R (YT still listed the old fork on the specs) and not the new one so I upgraded the MoCo to an RC rather than buying the newer IFP isolator kit, but you win some you lose some, I’ll probably replace the fork if I need to one day.
