So BWD are you trolling?

In a half-hearted sort of way, possibly. But the trouble with American forums like this one is that any sense of irony is long dead, everything is taken completely literally, so there’s not much future in trolling. I see it more as an educational thing, there are plenty of people out there who believe grease is compressible and have trouble telling it apart from oil, my mission is simply to help them. A bit like Jamie Oliver, but with shorter hair 😕

where does the shim of plastic go??

It goes inside the HV sleeve, just remove the sleeve, cut the plastic to fit the void and reinstall. Has the advantage that there’s no grease to migrate into the main body of the shock where it becomes non-compressible – joke – but is less fiddly to reverse and easy to adjust – use a bigger or smaller shim to add/reduce volume and change the ramp-up characteristics of the shock.

You could get a programme out of that – call it ‘Grease is the word’ or similar 😉

Im going through the same conundrum with my DHX 5 I got a price for a LV can,£27 plus £6 for sticker. Now having never taken the extra bit off I am wondering how big the gap is and I’m thinking about using o rings to fill the void. What yeah think?

I’ve done the bit of plastic in the second chamber to alter the volume on my HV Fox Float R shock. It reduced the blow through and helped aleviate the pedal strike and “wallow” I was suffering when running 25-30% sag.

To make the performance a bit better I’ve reduced the leverage rate by using the 6.18″ travel setting instead of the 6.7″ (again with 25-30% sag) this has again reduced the shock mid stroke blow through to an almost liveable level.

Next stop is a custom tune…

(Friendly here) The only problem with irony and sarcasm is that it confuses people that don’t know any better, which is a bad thing on technical issues. And I’m on a mission to unconfuse people (see my first post on this thread).

Extra large tongue or not? 😀

I was going to make an ironic crack about you being in the right place. Then I realised that it wasn’t ironic, irony being the use of words to convey their literal opposite, or something like that… Good luck anyway. I think you may be fighting a losing battle 😕
