[QUOTE="svi, post: 704084, member: 20863"] Jer, I don't understand your thoughts on Ohlins pistons being digressive. I have always found them to be exactly the opposite being very linear with a very steep increase in damping force. They often lock up over bumps hard on the brakes, speak to any rider using Ohlins forks and their biggest complaint will always be chatter on the brakes. I think the vast majority of people have now gone away from the preload midvalve as it makes the forks very harsh, until the pressure in the cartridge is sufficent to lift the valve. From feedback I have had from riders it would appear that although the compression bleed and piston give a rapid rise in cartridge pressure it seems you still have to compress the whole charge further to get the valve to lift which gives you a similar sensation to a very high oil level in a bottomed out set of forks. The forks become very snatchy, they are very rigid then suddenly they let go. Terry, you're right about the bleed with the options that are available in different size bleed orifices and needle tapers. [/QUOTE]
