[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 196890, member: 17220"] Shocknut, Fade? You know well enough that the problem is not so much higher teps as lower.. He btw I've noticed your post about your brew.. Sounds fairly intresting and you have my thoughts captivated.. Anyway the problem with the ATF in PDS shocks is the viscosity issue. Beacuse the shock oves slower than your garden variety KYB/Showa the good enginneers have designed the adjustable bleed circuits with lower viscosity in mind.. This causes adjustment range problems, but mechinancally just fine. As you know I don't actually use straight ATF but I'm ok with Customers using it in non PDS suspension. As for the Offroaders having higher temps.. I'd like to see the data... Case in point we have had heat related problems with very fast pro-mxers riding over 25 mins... We've been doing Jeff Russels suspension who is a offroad legend.. We've had no problems with heat on his stuff in the GNCC's..I can also say that the afformentioned tunner is claiming speeds that I've found to be unfounded. I don't know beacuse I've been waiting to get some working data aquistion equipment. I've cosulted with bot Ohlins and WP and have found that the speeds are much lower than this tunner claims. I'm not going to say on way or the other on the facts beacuse I have not actually ran the tests.. I can say that the data suggests that offroad shocks don't get hotter.. We are working on answering this question.. I'm waiting for my PDS pump, and then we will be able to build the shock without question the way WP says it should. And then temps wont' be subjected to other variables.. Regards, Jer [/QUOTE]
