JD,
OK, I'm all with the program now, except one more Q- Exactly, how do we treat those mm's of overhang, ie- as indivduals or as a group? I'm not sure what kind of units would I come up with, for example- would the L component overshadow the Thk component of the equation and make for some lop-sided result?
Right now, our units of measurement are-
(mm)cubed x (thk)cubed x constant which we can ignore + a whole bunch of flow factors we can't do much about, but they stay +/- constant so we ignore them, too.
The "flow factors" is where guys like Jer, WER, RT, etc, apply a different piston design system to change the outcome.
All this may sound vague, but when we base our next approach off past results, it works very well. And, actually, a plain old spreadsheet with these factors included will head us in the right general direction.
And, if we make some improvements to our bikes, and learn something, it was a good day!
Now, to tear apart my sled's shocks, and apply all this ramble to that machine, too. Know anything about Fox's Position Sensitive shocks?
btw, $.15 coffee? You mean $.50!
