[QUOTE="John Curea, post: 264817, member: 17497"] Mr. Blade My apologies for getting on your bad side....... All I was trying to do was have you substaniate your claim, you said RT doesnt advise removing the midvalve on all aplications. I am very curious what application you are talking about......the only one that I know is the KTM, which I stated is set up so soft that it doesnt warrant removal with the RT build mentallity. You have to understand that RT has designed a suspension package that the average mechanic with an average set of tools can accomplish. In this respect they have been successful, and for the most part have produced a package that is better than the stock suspension. They had to make it simple enough for the average mechanic to perform and still have the results be better than a stock set up. Even the mechanics of the midvalve build up are more complicated (when we take into consideration float and stack design) than the base assembly procedure. By removing this stack and installing a check plate we have greatly simplified the process of building and tuning the forks. IMHO this comes at a cost of performance. When we remove the midvalve we pile all of the damping requirements on the base valve. Now , onto your accusation of me bad mouthing RT...... The only thing I have ever mention is that removing the midvalve is "back dating your forks 10 years" (which in reality is exactly what is happening). This is the way forks were built before the introduction of the midvalve technology. And this was in response to someones question reguarding the pros and cons of removing the midvalve. And I have only mentioned this on 1 other board, what other ones are you talking about?? I have never "bad mouthed" RT, your accusation is totally untrue, and unsubstaniated. How about backing up YOUR accusations, pal....how about a link to these posts? I am sure we all would like to see them....... I have stated elsewhere that I beleive RTs customer service deserves an A+, but I am sure you missed these........ Have a great day! :cool: John [/QUOTE]
