[QUOTE="terry hay, post: 703154, member: 48273"] Jeremy You make mention of the Ohlins pistons having such tiny holes which, according to your previous argument should mean they have a relatively light shimstack. Particularly if the shims themselves aren't regulating the port area. But in fact the opposite is true and Ohlins employ some rather burly shimstacks to back up those restrictive pistons. The fact is Ohlins direct a greater amount of fluid through the adjuster circuit than most other manufacturers leaving a smaller amount to be regulated by the valve itself. Showa have tried the small port pistons with limited success and I believe it is the smaller amount of fluid that is bypassed that makes the difference. You have a greater amount of external adjustability with an Ohlins fork than almost any other. The level of adjustability from a Showa fork could best be described as fine tuning. But, replace that piston and accurately revalve to the riders requirements and fine tuning may be all you need. Terry [/QUOTE]
