[QUOTE="tm-enduro, post: 81350, member: 22157"] JTT I agree that valving is the most important part of suspension action. The fork, by design works best when the impact is dirctly in line with the direction of fork travel (zero degrees, if you will). Any impact that deviates from zero degrees when coupled with the co-efficient of friction, greatly diminishes the ability of the fork to telescope (compressing) properly, resulting in harshness. As noted in a thread the other day, conventional forks "make-up" for this by flexing rather than compressing. If a USD fork bends in this fashion (just below the lower triple clamp), binding and thus hardness results. I have found that in ~30 years of riding, the limiting factor in going faster (with relative comfort) for me (other than fear) is the ability of the front end to stay in contact with the terrain.
