What Ohlins settings are you running on the road?

I know a lot has been written about the best settings for these ‘very trick’ dampers, but to be honest, a lot of it is very confusing.

The factory TTX damper settings for the 3.5R
are recorded as:
20 clicks off full hard for compression (gold) and 15 click off full hard for rebound (black)

I know Sir Nick (and I) find this to be too likely to create a wallow-tactic queasy ride over undulating surfaces, so tend to run the the rebound a little firmer.

On a dry track the factory settings 8 comp / 15 rebound work really well, but I’m searching for the optimal road setting for B road blasts.

Last weekend I had to lift as I followed a 4 down the road and the Atom behind me reported seeing my car deflected by the bumps. I know the 4 has a better designed platform, but I am sure there is more to come from in terms of ride control from the Ohlins on my 3.5R.

It does seem strange that the recommended rebound setting is the same for both road and track use? I'm pretty sure that isn't the case for the 4.

Here are the Ohlins settings for the 4, if they are of interest.

Thanks both. I will badger Steve at the factory for his thoughts also.
