Shed! what did you use for this! or where can i purchase this Temperture sticker!
A number of people DO run air in the shock. [Can't name names or they might be arrested by the suspension police] IF you have a bladder type shock and inject air from your compressor after the tank has cooled and most of the moisture has settled out you will not notice any difference. As long as the pressure stays somewhere around that specified [usually 175] you're good to go. The purpose of that pressure reallly has little to do with damping --it's there to keep vapor bubbles from forming in the oil as it moves rapidly through the valving [cavitation]
