[QUOTE="John Curea, post: 24298, member: 17497"] Jer, Ok, let me see if I got this right.... The midvalve provides more "feedback" to the rider. This may seem like harshness to an unsuspecting rider. "Most" suspension shops are removing the midvalve which will create a plushness over the small trail stuff, but the rider will suffer greatly when the going gets nasty (ie. "g" outs, whoops, big stuff). They are selling this concept hoping the rider will jump on his bike and be so elated over the smoothness of the small stuff that he wont realize the level of control he's compromizing on the nasty sections of trail. I would speculate and say that the midvalve should be tuned in relation to the rest of the suspension, that being a fast rider would have his midvalve tuned for more "feedback", and firmness , a faster rider would be in shape to handle a bike set up this way. Where as a slower rider wouldn't need this level of firmness, because he wouldnt be hitting the trail as fast or hard. I would also say that the one important item a suspension shop, that chooses to use the technology of the midvalve, must absolutely be "in touch" with the riders' speed and ability. Because if the shop gets this incorrect and sets up the bikes' capacity exceeding the riders ability, it will be the rider who suffers on ride quality. John ------------------ [/QUOTE]
