Sounds like me n' @saruti will see you court. After you find out our piggybacks use moar shimz and not inferior poppet valves.
You guys are just wack. Putting the accumulator on the valve, how gauche. I'm thinking this a cynical marketing ploy by 'Woo. Accumulator goes into the hub. You have your choice of minimal remote plumbing or the deluxe version utilizes hollow spoke technology. This keeps the mass imbalance of the valve stack taken care of, and no need for more of 'Woos wheel weights.

Peasants :disgust1:

Maybe we can try a small air shock with a rebound dial. And connect it to the valve with a thin rubber tube. Just for prototype test....

I wonder if there is a really small air shock.
Do RC cars have high end shock absorbers? I remember they have some good ones. But never saw air sprung shocks or something with rebound dials..

RC car dampers are just ported pistons in a tube full of oil, even at the highest levels of racing. Pretty low tech.

35psi. Come on, 50? I don't have that many preride beers. :busted:
I mean sleep depravation when waking up too early to go riding can make you do weird stuff. I once kept forgetting I already slowed down my rebound and slowed it so much the back wheel was basically not returning.

okay I'll switch out all my motors with one of those


edit:
oh yeah that's much better, pretty much two stroke simplicity, LOL

Unneeded stuff
Gsxr 600s rev to 17,000 with valve springs
Honda did 21,000 in the 60s with valve springs
