[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 24804, member: 17220"] A few weeks ago Mace had a string called challanging authority.. (BTW) MACE your springs have been sent. The whole spring preload thing really got my gears turning.. Maces basic contention was as follows... By using a light spring heavly preloaded we negate harsh suspension reactions do to spring loads, while maintiang static ride hts by having a realtively large preload factor. Very similar to car suspension set-up. We talked about all the posiblites multirates etc.. The genral point is that this often causes negative suspenbsion charatcertics in the moments where the suspension is qucikly being loaded and unloaded.. Say breaking bumps.. Ohlins orginally worked on contractive suspension and then FMF's Rob Henderickson (Now RG3) worked with it.. Contractive suspension would have a value in a high preload situation as we could control the topout reaction that a highly preload spring would create. From what I can tell no one had used this concept with relatively light springs. As my company works toward devloping our line of shocks I intend to spend more time on this question, intreg, problem. Anythoughts.. Regards, Jer [/QUOTE]
