[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 24683, member: 17066"] This thread has got me thinking do we need a base valve at all-the only reason i can think of is maybe the cartidge size is small compared to a shock body so we need 2 pistons to get the required amount of damping.If we didnt have a base valve the crud would go to the bottom and do less harm-no shims to stick in-not really an advantage but im not sure where my brain is going at this point.Im thinking of fork speeds being alot higher as no linkage and smaller cartidges and more volume is what i suspect but im not sure how much volume an active fork piston sees.I suspect its similar overall because although the fork volume is higher than a shock ,the midvalve passes through a percentage of the total volume.So maybe its even.Then the cartridge is smaller but it travels 2* as fast.I wonder if this is why some fork valve stacks are just like mini shock valve stacks(in shape)-or am i talking out of my uranus??
