The bearings are not a new idea. At least in road racing Ohilins has been recomending & selling those for a long time & some Ohilins dealers/gurus will not set up a shock without those in place. So I'm sure they work allowing the spring to rotate with out binding keeps the spring rate more consistaint, but on the asphalt the maint. on those would be yearly. In the dirt that thing might be toast after a few rides.

Check this out.
Hydraulic pre-load adjuster. 15mm of adjustment with a T handle. http://www.mergeracing.com/products/...licPreload.php http://www.mergeracing.com/images/HydraulicPreload.jpg http://www.mergeracing.com/images/Hy...dInstalled.jpg |
Intersting ....
no olins tho. |
Just think.
You can have a small pump on the handle bars to change the pre-load on the fly. Deep sand section coming up........drop that rear end.:eek: |
My neighbor has one on his BMW road bike (Ohlins) Pretty slick. The Ohlins version has a remote master cyl. on the subframe with a knurled knob you can eaisly grab and turn for adjustment. Great for when he adds bags or a passenger.
Once I got mine where I was happy though, I never touched it. |
I guess the ultimate would be fully electronically adjustable suspension but I think I prefer what's cheap and reliable. :)

I have my sag set at 100mm.
I'm just wondering about the 125-130mm sag. Wouldn't that "rake" the front end out too much? |
