Push Industries and why you need them

Ride it first, then worry.
Hmmm... Yeti, when my friend had a Super 8, his fox seemed like it always made that slushy noise. Each time it compressed, slurp.. slurp.. when he hit a lip, slurp. But it always felt great, I think it worked for quite a while too. Don't know if he ever had it rebuilt before he sold it.
However, my Fox on my Karpiel started makin the noise when the seals were going out and I noticed traces of dirt gathering around. Maybe you should just call up Push to be sure? They're the only ones who could give you a real answer.

1- I use the same spring I did before my shock was Pushed. Works for me.
2- My Push has whoooshed since day one. I think it's the fact that for us bigger guys Darren dials in more useful damping, AND the fact that his shocks move MUCH more oil throughout the stroke.
3- I don't have any clunking. Can't help ya there.
Chris, I got my shock back from Push two weeks ago. I still haven't ridden it because I'm waiting on a spring.
However, about the spring weight that you should need: In my conversations with Push, they valve the shock according to the spring rate that you indicate on the work sheet. You shouldn't have to go lighter.
Also, I'm 200# and my bike has a leverage ration of 3:1, you're a [much] bigger guy than I am, and I noticed that even my shock was damn near impossible to compress by hand. I'd say that given your weight, it's even stiffer.
I think that the stiffness is an attribute of the SPV. I bolted my springless shock to my RFX and compressed it via the linkage where I could get more leverage and it's definately easier to compress when I jerk the linkage up, rather than trying to slowly compress it. It still requires more effort than I would've guessed though.
Put a spring on there...
I have the free-ride build.
My Romic never clunks, it slurps
That sounds too weird

What on earth are you trying to prove here? You come on all attention horing going look at me and my shiney new push shock. Now your telling people to go ride it. Whats the point? How about you sell me one and i'll show up. If the average rider can't buy it then dont come on here teasin about it. It's not like your doing push a favor as they wont even sell them.
Are you joking?
How about you look at the services the company offers, and understand that you can get all new internals for your RC. Just because the consumer offering doesn't have the spiffy external resivoir doesn't mean that riding one won't give you a good idea of whether or not PUSH's product sucks or if it does what they claim.
Lots of people would kill to ride unreleased products anyway, so it's a generous offer for him to tell people they can ride his shock if they want.
I love to hear about new products, even if I can't own them yet. You'd better quit browsing bike forums forever if you don't want to hear about them - do you simply assume that nobody else is interested, just because you aren't?
This is what I hear from your comments:
Oh, have sex with Pam anderson, If I'm not going to marry her
whats the point. All I can score are clydesdale women 40+.
Drive your ferrari for five minutes as hard as I want with no consequences, whats the point, all thats available to me is my '72
Ford Festiva.
Laugh as hard as I can for five minutes, whats the point
life is miserable and I have a dog to kick at that time anyway.
Life is too short to look through rose colored glasses and always see the negatives of why you can't.
My point is to be facetious to make the point that riding and racing is fun for the moment. Life is to short to waste time with negative thinking.
Big Bear on Sunday!!!

Hahahahahahaha...

It must be the valving, my 888 slurps too.
Hey, I'm not usually one to throw knives or get pissy on a msg board, but WTF Hrelp? Push provides a service that apparently, ALOT of people are finding useful. Clearly, Gun Show is quite, maybe even ecsatcially, happy with what Push has been able to provide him and wants to share the virtues of what's being developed with others. Where's the problem with that?
Oh! It's not available to the general public....let's bash it!!
Whatever floats your boat man. One thing in life I've learned is to never say never. I mean, yes, Darren is getting great feedback from the team riders, but how could getting the average joe's input hurt? I would imagine that if the demand was great enough, there might be a shock made available to the public.
Demand dictates supply....
