Because the bottom out cone has a close tolerance with the bottom out piston and the fact that oil wont compress, we see a rapid reduction in fork velocity when the piston enters the B/O cone. The oil in the cone is displaced by the piston and has to escape under pressure. The thicker the oil, the greater the pressure, the greater the bottoming resistance. If you maintain the same volume you won't affect the air spring no matter what weight you use. Mind you the thicker the oil, the more abrupt the transition from on the bottom out, to off it. Don't get carried away.
Shocknut, is the ABS piston the same as an extended bottom out cone?
