Hmmm....maybe I’ll invent a battery charger that runs on fork and shock created heat.
kickstarter, anyone?
I had wondered about a linear generator to keep an E-dropper charged, you could swap the battery out for a super cap and you wouldn't need a fancy charging circuit.

Why can't forks use the crown as part of the neg air spring? Most of them are hollow so just bang a hole through the stanchion, we already have steerers coming loose so why not stanchions too?

I am genuinely curious if this thing can work when coated in oil, as it should be, inside a fork.

Also, since it's on an Audi, you know it's gotta be good....
