"I'm sorry" is my line Dude. And I sure hope you aren't throwing shade at the Canadian Army, which consistently punches well above its weight. Read up on Vimy Ridge, if you have a historical inclination. Plus, our Prime Minister can take your President. :P Anyway, back on topic - it is the...

And I say you need to demand this service, and only buy from those who will provide it. It is also entirely reasonable for the vendor to want to charge more for this service. It is worth paying for it. Thanks.... but your government is not my government. I'm Canadian.

Nope. Provided - past tense - at one point. I went back to the Army to go to Afghanistan and stuck around. I don't do suspension development any more. I provide advice and a degree of training when asked nicely, and I continue to maintain A2W as a public service, but I no longer do suspension...

As a recent arrival, I'm lacking a degree of context here. Is this dude your regular board troll?

No. No I don't. *Victory* would be you agreeing to dyno your shocks. Because then 1 of 2 things happens: 1. The dyno proves my claims. You learn the same lesson I learned so many years ago about the power of self delusion and placebo effect, and the rest of us learn that the observations...

Doctor: Gee, I think you have a broken arm there. You'd better get an XRay so we can make sure. Man with Broken Arm: It doesn't feel broken to me! Doctor: Well, all the other arms I've examined that look like that have been broken. Let's get an XRay. Man with Broken Arm: You've never seen...

So when you write a rebuttal like the one I lead off with, it is going to play out in one of two ways: 1. The person rebutted pulls a *mea culpa*. Sometimes there are further questions and a productive conversation results; or 2. The person rebutted doubles down on their ignorance. I...

Because of the way the adjuster works, the closer you get to full hard, the more control authority the knob gets. In that range of about (YMMV) 1 turn off full hard, the shock forces spike hard, typically. Generally speaking, "full hard" is WAY too hard. But... In my world - back when I...

"Lower drops" doesn't affect valving, unless you are talking about body length and where in the stroke the bump rubber engages. Stiffer springs, yes. Well here's the thing - how is the customer expecting to use the product? In my world, Koni Yellows were the first step up into Real Race...

So a couple of things here: 1. Shock valving really isn't all that hard. Determining the target curve is so simple that I have a JavaScript app on A2W that generates it. Figuring out what specific order of shimstacks and bleed orifices and whatnot that matches that curve is tougher, but that's...

Hi there! Far North Racing here! One of the cool things about having a racing history is that you have friends everywhere, and some of them are nice enough to alert you when you become the subject of discussion. :) "Full of himself"... well... it isn't like I've never heard that before. And...
