[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 651261, member: 27963"] with no knowledge of fluid dynamics these are the things I would ask myself and work on. does the air spring have to be bigger tha what you like.IE if you like your fork oil set low for a particular bump absorption and set high for another type of bump does you sub tank have to be bigger than that displacement of the air spring.I would guess not At what point will the hose be restrictive? there is no need for a large easy flowing hose if you are going to be closing it off with a tapered needle or some other type restriction device. If by dumb luck a hex head main jet threads into your air bleed screw you might be able to try out the idea by just clamping some hoses and a filter to the end. There will be NO air spring at slow suspension speeds so be careful testing but you just might be able to feel if the hole is going to be too restrictive. wondering how bad I am going to get reamed out for suggesting trying out an opened no airspring fork, and wondering if you actually need an airspring at slow suspension speeds if you can tune out bottoming with hydraulic bottoming cones or some other device. Aside from high maintenance of impurities contaminating the forks would there be an actual safety issue of instead of trying to tune your airspring, eliminating it? After all with sub tanks and/or low oil hieght arent you trying to lessen the airspring effect? I am ready to get blasted by those that truly know suspensions,just trying to "think outside the box" [/QUOTE]
