Message: [QUOTE="James Dean, post: 80374, member: 18501"] I suppose we should add that the lower triple clamp bolts have a reduced torque specified because of the stress point where the internal bushing rides. The manufacturers are aware of the problem. It's hard to tell how many bike owners will torque them properly. Jer, Is WP the only fork maker that uses the scalloped rebound stack in their USD forks? I have made a prototye rebound check valve (in the passive valve) that had a similar scalloping. The plate had to be indexed with a hex shape on the inner hole to hold it's position. The flow to the basevalve shims gets a more direct path and becomes more responsive without increasing port size. I have since sold the bike and the current owner certainly doesn't appreciate the design concept within his fork. Some day I may offer to help change his fork oil to see that it is still intact.
