Forks are coming back from service today. Oil/seals/new compression shim stack. I noted the setting before removal, but I'm curious what people have settled on on their bikes. In my case I only had 80 miles of light duty before startus interuptus and a weepy seal shut me down, so I didn't develop a baseline.

As previously stated, two rings.
That’s the way my bike was delivered. It seems to work for what I do.

Important to remember the way the rear suspension is set up affects how many rings you may need at the front for optimum balance.....I run a Stelvio shock which pushes the rear up enough that I only need 2 rings at the front....

As Paulbrice said, I have a longer Ohlins shock which has changed the bikes geometry, so I run 1 ring showing
