February 10, 201511 yr Anybody try these yet ? http://www.suspensionhfs.com/en/content/en/what-hfsI might be tempted to some in the front of my trusty 240 ... Just curious ... Glenn
February 11, 201511 yr "It does not alter fork hydraulic damping system." Therefore of somewhat limited benefit at that sort of price? I don't see much point in a sophisticated springing system paired to primitive damping. Doesn't a well known Cub rider do something similar that gives improved damping?
September 10, 201510 yr Has anyone tried removing the springs completely? You would have to change the air volume to get the right progressive rate of compression, (you could do this by altering the oil level. probably by quite a lot). Large volume = soft and little progression, small volume = high rate of progression. I can only see two down sides; 1 air tends to heat up with work which would change the rate slightly 2, It could increase the resistance to initial movement as it would push the oil up against the seal causing the seal to grip the shaft tighter. as the oil is against the seal it doesn't have to be air tight, just the usual oil tight that it is designed for. After all these seals are basically hydraulic seals which using the similar lip / material design can handle 210 bar (see modern diggers etc). Just a thought
