[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 226313, member: 17220"] Drum Roll Plese... First Off let me say that for all the readers that have argued the bladder case with me you where in some ways correct! The info I got while at WP was very cool and very educational.. I'm going to post what I can for now, and while have a whole report comming soon.. I just need to get final approval of content so I don't say or show anything that will get me in trouble.. But the Bladder Piston Argument is dead for now.. Now we need to find out why it is what it is... The offical exsplantion is... The bladder works better, when the nitrogen and area are equal to stock. The diffrence is slight, but the major diffrence is the cost. A bladder is much cheaper to produce. The bladder with less volume was not as good, so for all intents and purposes the kits offered now may in fact not be as good as the piston. Here is a picture of a test bladder. This bladder actually has a reduction tank added to one side that allows the nitrogen volume to be cosinstent with Stock. As Sage pointed out the bladder is a more reliable and less likely to fail. When a bladder fails thew nitrogen volume is lost into the oil and the shock completly goes away. If a seal fails on Piston type shock the piston wont' rupture and while the shock won't work properly it will likely be more rideable. Future WP shocks will come with Bladders.. They will be decreaseing nose pressure by increasing diamter, and also increasing volume. [/QUOTE]
