[QUOTE="Quantumcanuck, post: 971978, member: 61704"] I broke down tonight. I took a brand new exacto blade and very carefully cut up 2.5mm, then over 6mm, then up the last 2.5mm. Now the piston band can expand to the proper size to seat itself. I reassembled and checked the rebound from full out to full in. Major difference. There is actually damping now and I actually have control over it. My only concern is that without an o-ring underneath the piston band, it is not sealing as well as it could. Maybe under high oil pressure/flow situations the band could just get pushed back off the cartridge tube wall and let oil by. Maybe just a little or maybe a lot, beats me but it would certainly lead to inconsistant damping. There is no groove machined in the mid-valve to accept an o-ring. I'll have to find some other way to keep the piston band forced outwards. There isn't room under there for much though. Atleast I know for certain that what I thought it was all this time is actually the problem. Supposed to rain this weekend :( Hopefully I'll be able to gt out and do some testing. Cheers and thanks for the help guys. John [/QUOTE]
