so,
now that I'm building a new frame and on a strict use parts I already have budget, I've been tinking with ways to un-suck the dhx air for my APP nickel.
From the same year, the DHX coil compression side is [piston] .700x.010, .700x.010, .700x.006, .600x.0045, .500x.0045, .400x.010 [bolt]
the DHX AIR from the same year runs [piston] .700x.010, .700x.010, .600x.004, .600x.004, spacer [bolt]
There are two more shims in the dhx coil, for a stack with noticeably more compression in comparison.
Is the light valving of the air an attempt to overcome the stiction of an air shock, or best match the ramp up of an air shock, or is this only on the DHX series, and from say, a ccdb air to ccdb coil, or vector air to vector coil, the shims and dampening range remain the same?
I'm thinking about setting the dhx air stack up to mirror the dhx coil. Thoughts on that? It makes sense to me as a reasonable increase across the range to keep the shock from wallowing with the VPP rate.
