[QUOTE="MN KDXer, post: 24618, member: 16126"] Remember in your decisions, that the relative strength of each shim is a function of its thickness cubed. ie- thk x thk x thk. Which basically means that a shim that is twice as thick is eight times as strong. Example- the .15 shims are as strong as 3.38 shims of .10 thickness. The stepping of shim diameters (tapering) between shims gets a little complicated and is a bit of an engineering brain tangler. I've kicked that around, and decided at that point, it's time to expirement.

And, it gives you somewhat of an idea of what % you have reduced the stack. Try about a 15% change to start it off. From there, you will know what to do next, whether softer or stiffer. Have fun and report back. [img]http://dirtrider.net/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] ------------------ -Vet A Enduro and Hare Scramble Rider. -Dry tech talker and "known to toss stones" [/QUOTE]
