[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 473357, member: 17220"] Well lets rethink this toether, no I'm saying flaot has anything to do with cavitation. Flaot is used to allow the forks "midvalve" to be configured in such a way that does not allow it to contrinbute to the low speed compression, beacuse then the fork would be too stiff.. Flaot allows some intial speed to be acheived before the shims provide addtional resistance to valve area/flow requimetns. In a base-valve defelectins are very low as you asume, however in a active or midvalve deflections are much higher, due to the substantially larger volumes. The deflection is almost too much sometimes and this causes shim ware, and poor manipulation.. The new KYB midvalve psitons are configured in a way to allow less velocity and less deflction, which increases tunablity. BR, Jer Ohlins idea of useing wave washers to control intial opening presure has some merrit, as softer midvalve valing can be used, but the springs linear nature is poor at controlling subsequent valve area growth. We are working on a hybrid approach thats uses a preloaed wave washer for low defelction control and shims for mid and highspeed deflections. [/QUOTE]
