At 170 Lbs i use 1/2 turn for in town riding. When i hit the twisties i stop and turn em up to 2 turns. Worlds of difference ! However, lately i've just left them at 2 all the time. It's a bit stiff, but the handling feels more stable and safety is #1, so i just left it there after the last mountain ride.But if you wanna float along, 1/2 turn sure is nice.I'd use that for long freeway rides. Whats so great about the 440's is that you can adjust them by hand, so you just pull over any time and in a few seconds you're off again with a totally different feel.
