[QUOTE="kevin5758, post: 702780, member: 40341"] svi, Glad you like the program. I have a question, could you email me? rideright, Ok, so send me a bill. ;) Anyway, thanks for the encouraging words. I've worked long and hard to get this program to work, and have a lot of new features to add. The goal has always been to understand what various shim changes do. Now we are progressing to flow characteristics and forces on the face of the shim vs. forces on the piston. This will allow comparisons between different piston designs. It's still a ways down the road, but we're working on it. Marcus, You seem to have the same problems that everyone has, or has had. i.e. How do you know what changes need to be made. As I stated, our goal has always been to understand how the various valving changes affect the suspension unit. This is the starting point. Once you know what the shim changes do, you can start the tuning process by guessing. You guess at what you think needs to be changed. Then keep accurate records of what the changes did. This process leads to experience, and experience is the key. The program simply helps out on one of the steps by eliminating some of the guess work and cutting down the learning curve. Once we advance further on the flow characterastics and forces on the face of the shim, we will be able to incorporate those findings into the fork program. This will include base valve and midvalve shims and how each component contributes to the overall damping. thanks Kevin [/QUOTE]
