[QUOTE="JTT, post: 396088, member: 19620"] cr lover, I think, and I may stand to be corrected, that you are a little confused about what is happening in there. While it is true that "most of the oil would escape out threw the midvalve shim stack", this will always be true, but this is not what activates the base valve. The oil the flows throught the base valve is the oil displaced by the damper rod, not by the "plunger" effect of the midvalve. This is a common misconception. Oil must flow throught the midvalve or you would create a vacuum on the downstream side. This being said, it is that there is not a tremendous volume of fluid passing through the basevalve. You can quickly figure out the exact volume by calculating the cross sectional area of the rod (I think yours is 12mm diameter) and multiplying by the compressed distance of the fork. Did that make any sense?....I am a bit sleep deprived, so bare with me :D [/QUOTE]
