[QUOTE="Huck Fonda, post: 322815, member: 9687"] Hate to reply to my own reply, but I got thinking more about this and realized that a more viable solution could be progressive rate springs. These will (as the name suggests) become progressively firmer as the load increases. The damping adjustments will work in conjunction with the (typically) faster wheel movement at the bottom of the stroke. As the wheel travels upward, it will begin to slow, decreasing the effectiveness of the dampers, but that spring will continue to get tighter. I've been in lots of conversations about the relationship between damper adjustment and spring rate, but at the end of the day, I believe there is a connection between them, and when you get it right, you'll know. Start with black coffee, adjust sugar content, adjust milk content, and bingo, the perfect cup of coffee. Start with springs, addjust compression, adjust rebound, bingo, a glorious ride. Now the [I]weight [/I]of the oil on the other hand... [/QUOTE]
