[QUOTE="JTT, post: 91083, member: 19620"] Kawie, that water that was displaced when you put your hand in the water?...that is effectively the same thing that is happening when the shaft is being pushed into the catridge on compression. The volume of the shaft (ie: is crosssectional area x length of travel) is displaced adn must go somewhere. The cartridge is sealed at one end and the other end has the base valve on it. Since the fluid cannot displace into the solid end, it is forced through a piston and shim stack affair on the base valve and into a "holding chamber". When the fork rebounds, a vacuum is created as teh shaft is removed and that fluid from the "holding chamber" is re-released, through another series of valving (rebound) back to the area below (at least in the case of UPS forks) the midvalve piston, that the shaft just left from. To go back to our glass of water...try to hold back the water from overflowing the glass with your other hand. If you could get a good enough seal with your hands you would see the the water would be forced through your fingers, no matter how hard you try to seal it...your second hand if the base valve. ...making any sense?
