[QUOTE="terry hay, post: 700630, member: 48273"] Georgie The air spring is complementary to the coil spring and there is a combined spring force that creates the overall effect. The changes in oil volume although hard to feel by just pushing are immediately apparent when riding the bike. Your experiment was conducted without the coil spring and you would have to compensate for the lost volume of the spring to get the full effect of the pressure differential between fully extended or fully compressed. The oil height is determined by two extremes. Too low and air will be drawn into the cartridge creating cavitation. Or as someone else mentioned you may affect the capability of the bottom out cone. Too high and you will create "hydraulic lock". Obviously there is a minimum and maximum level with a little safety margin built in. Everything in between the two levels allows for a tuning variable.
