SVI,
Well I finnally have had a chance to get back to my Forum.. I spoke with Muddy (our AU importer and now the offical Ohlins Road race racing service) and your info is very cooorect in terms of operational speeds. The intresting part is the peak for MX is only slighlty higher, so this helps exsplain the success we've had with midvalves in RR.. I was really conceptually struggling till I learned that most of the speed issues talked about here are flat wrong.. (in terms of absolute speed)
I only wsh someone would actually bring to market a DATA system that can work, and last..
Thanks for the good string..
Also I do belive that is a non-twin tube design at the top of the stroke the forks do caviatae due to lack of internal pressure. The problem is not so much compression on the first hit, (the piston can't push the fluid in a high speed if it's full as that would be stiffer yet. ) The problem actually starts as the forks return to full exstension under low pressure and don't completly refill.
Regards,
Jer
