How so?
It says prototype so it has to be supersweet...
dont know if any of you have seen this yet?
sicklines is filled with new juicy parts right now :biggrin:
It's a good thing the Sunday is done after 08, or we'd probably have another shock specific link to buy.
Yeti 303dont know if any of you have seen this yet?
sicklines is filled with new juicy parts right now :biggrin:
No way, sherlock!Yeti 303
yeah
yes my dear Watson :biggrin:No way, sherlock!
hence the reason it is a prototype
right, because that's the only bike one of those is mounted to...
Yeti has always been the testers for proto fox stuff, if you like their shocks so far then thats your question answered.
Athertons even state it at their website for quite some time. They also have a Float proto for their 4x fullys.
It is impossible to have a true high and low speed rebound adjuster. The Cane Creek Hi/Lo rebound is just a compression adjuster working on compression when the shaft extending (rebounding)
standard moto style hi/lo speed compression clickers....the largest diameter shaft i've seen as of yet.....
any day now........
That's what rebound damping is, genius - damping in the direction opposite to compression.
o rly? (somebody want to grab that owl pic for me?)
first off regardless of what this damper is being labeled as, i can assure you it is NOT a DHX, and it's nothing like it.....so comparing it to one is retarded....its a total departure.....good job making assumptions based on the past......I like how you guys assume just because its a proto that it must be awesome.
When in fact most protos of parts suck and have problems, hence the many revisions.
And on top of all that its a DHX. Which is rapidly being sent to the bottom of the list of good shocks.
Oh and the piston being so big isn't necessarily a good thing. It creates more friction on the larger seal, and is just a bandaid to try and make a monotube shock perform better. It should not be stressed so there is no "stiffness" gained by having it bigger.
Oh and can't forget this:
I'm not so sure that's a Hi-Lo adjuster. The knob looks similar to the old Boost Valve adjuster which was knurled and had holes in it to make it easier to turn under pressure. It would be cool if it adjusted the preload on the Boost Valve and had a separate bleed circuit.....kinda like a Hi-Lo adjuster, hmm.
hmmm....a mutual friend said it was hi/lo....but he's been wrong in the past....can't wait til all of this "stuff" unveils!
Could be a volume adjuster or could just be a fancy air cap. I really don't know. I've heard bits and pieces of info but am just speculating like the rest.
In theory you are 100% correct as the force on the shock is consistent due to the linear nature of the spring [forgetting shock rates and spring curves for the time being], and thus the shaft speed can not change.
No, that's pretty well all wrong. The force on the shock is NOT consistent, it is linearly decreasing through the rebound stroke (moving from bottom out to top out). All hydrodynamic dampers are speed sensitive, however because the maximum speed the shock can return at is dictated by its position in the stroke (it will always reach maximum speed somewhere close to bottom out, heavier rebound damping means this speed will be reached closer and closer to bottom out), it can be somewhat legitimate to call the high and low speed rebound adjusters start and end stroke rebound adjusters. Oil displacement has nothing to do with any rebound circuits on any shock (unless they use a control valve a la SPV, DHX etc in rebound, which none do).
