Tricky one. No point in the dual taper - that defeats the purpose.

In the world of motocross it is normal to have the bike set up with less compression damping than rebound damping. The effect of this is that the bike is less 'upset' by bumps offering better forward momentum.

Having said that, the previous poster is right in as much as the rebound has to be quick enough to recover for the next bump.

Experiment!
