[QUOTE="JTT, post: 24678, member: 19620"] Michael, I think the speed will be faster for a "sharp edge". Remember, speed is distance divided by time. Although the distance traveled in a sharp edge bump is small the time of travel is very short. In a G-out situation, the distance is great but the time is equally long, relatively. Using the example of 8m/s it would take .4 secs for the piston to move 20mm, if the speed remainded the same for the g-out situation, the time to complete the shock movement would only be .04 secs. We know that it takes considerably longer to compress the shock in a g-out than that, therefore the speed must be slower. Maybe you are right about the "overlay of both"....and maybe this is why "some" tuners tend to work mostly with base valve (and in some cases, eliminate midvalve completely). It has a greater range of shims and could be more easily "fine tuned"...hmmm... ------------------ JTT Logic Over Hype Coalition [/QUOTE]
