[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 207508, member: 17220"] Ok.. Good points here are some thoughts.. We need to spend some time giving reasons..!! Ok.. Here are some intresting facts.. Bladder designs.. ALl the avlaible systems use a KYB 46mm x 103 bladder.. This is important to recognize. It has no difrence in function in terms of mechaincal area. The shape does not matter. The Cap made by WER, and UltraMAX have significantly less nitrogen volume! What does that do in relation to nose pressure? Increases the rate at which it rises signifactly. So the nose pressure is nearly twice that of the standard shcok at the end of the travel. Factory connection runs a longer tube, that I beilve adds oil capacity not nitrogen volume. This may help temperature issues. PC, and Factory R and D make a kit with a bladder and nitrogen volume exstension tank.. These actually result in a nitrogen volume that is still 25% less the standard.. Which you guesses it results in a much higher nose pressure still. So the advanatage can't be a reducing of pressure or area.. Simply the facts don't add up. Ok which leads us to service ablity... The Bladder does make it easier to work with, for the average guy. Friction... I think we should talk about this detail.. What is the ratio between the piston and the wheel? I've figured it out, and I want you guys to think about this point, and how it may impact shock performance. Heat: This may be the best argument I've heard yet..How does the bladder impact the distrobution of heat, and the specific heat capacity of the shock. Cool Keep it up! Talk with you in a few weeks...
