Jeremy talked about the check valve a while ago and explained how the systems equiped with a check valve are not as good in braking bumps.bclapham said:...But the TooTech system also looks good, it sounds like he has made them with a one way check valve so they dont effect rebound????...
FUNCTION This is really important guys!!
· The air bottle principal depends upon restricting the airflow into the bottle. All current bottles use an adjustable orifice that limits airflow in both directions. This means that the air that flows into the bottle slowly, also leaves the bottle slowly. Because the air returns to the forks slowly, current bottles tend to cause slow rebound and make the forks pack and feel dead.
· The Too Tech Air Tank uses a pneumatic device called a ‘flow control valve’. A flow control valve has an adjustable orifice to control the air going into the tank, and a check valve to allow free flow of the air back out of the tank. This guarantees that the forks rebound at the same speed regardless of how much air has transferred into the Air Tank. This insures they do not pack or feel dead.
NO HAND said:The price is stiff though.
