Bloody fixie skidders, you know as much about shock physics as I do!
I did try and find the model of the shock to see if I could get a new one but it doesn't actually seem as bad as I remember it so maybe I just wasn't used to it or maybe the rebound was tweaked at some point. Thing is I've never ridden dualies so I have no idea what they're meant to ride like. The front shock definitely moves way too much. More energy goes into up/down than forward. I have a set of Bombers at home on my old hardtail and they're not this squishy.
