[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 188029, member: 17066"] Ive been thinking about the PDS recently and decided its a flawed design. heres why: 1 it uses different springs to every other shock(read expensive) 2 it has more friction than others 3 it needs mega quality oil to help it live 4 it has different shim sizes to other shocks 5 due to its steel construction it doesnt seem as good as others at getting rid of heat 6 i dont like the idea of the oil running through the centre of the shaft before the bottoming needle comes into play(better to somehow run on the outside of the piston) 7 it needs all sorts of mega priced 'special tools'-latest is a pump that when using on later shocks 01,02 you have to remove the rebound needle thats in the centre of the rod(IMO only because its the only way the pump will still work) In conclusion i dont think the PDS system is crap just WP version of it. All that to do away with a couple of links and bearings. :( I like the ohlins idea(2 different size pistons)so the 2nd only comes in for bottoming control. My idea would be to use a bottoming cone like on a fork instead of the 2nd piston Let the debate begin:p [/QUOTE]
