[QUOTE="OldernYZer, post: 1364647, member: 90656"] It's unclear to me what the designed reason fro something like that would be. It seems just as simple to make up the spring with coils that remain active once preloaded into place that comes out at the correct installed length and preload. If the coils are not coil bound just by screwing the cap on the fork, then they have some influence on the fork behavior at times when the weight rises off the suspension, such as when you top a rise in the pavement. I might make clear one thing about multi-rate springs. Any reputable manufacturer labels them by their actual measured rates, not by the rates of the individual sections. The example I gave above would be labeled as a 67/200 if it was wound in one piece, not as a 100/200. A lot of off-road stuff for cars and quads is available as stacked separate springs, and that's a little confusing sometimes. [/QUOTE]
