Long Travel BS Thread

aghh we could have traded lol

 

One of his shocks may have lost charge. Valving has nothing to do with ride height

 

wat

 

Okay that's what I had always thought

 

Crash course of valving. Valving is just a stack of thin shims sitting in the oil. When the shock moves it flexes the shims out of the way and slows the shock down by dissipating movement and turning it into heat. The thicker the shim is the harder it is to flex out of the way, and the more resistance there is to movement. There is a stack of shims on each side of the piston so a different stack flexes on compression and rebound

 

yeah its 1 3/4

 

what does that mean??

 

one and three quarters of an inch outside diameter tubing with a wall thickness of ???, is what that means.
