Telum. Any got one coming?

- Start date
No, it's reducing (=getting a stiffer rate) or raising (=softer rate) the number of active coils.
Edit: sniped by Jm_
Are there any other coils that are the same size that the Sprindex plastic piece could be used on?
Not sure, same width, probably, but you'd need significantly more stroke than your shock to make this work, like if my stroke is 65, I may need an 80mm spring, besides the coil OD and ID.

NSMB Telum review, it's good (shocking

Surprised there has not been more talk about the design, it is very unique. It is a twin tube design but there is no mid valve or shims on the piston attached to the damping rod, it is just a solid piston. All rebound and compression damping is handled by the base valve.
The majority of the tuning is done by changing the size of the effective clamp shim, the stacks remains the same. This is pretty smart in that the shape of the damping curve does not really change, it just gets steeper or shallower (stiffer or softer) depending on the diameter of the clamp shim. It can also be done without rebuilding/bleeding the shock.
Vorsprung will sell the shock without the Sprindex for just over $1000USD. You need a 36mm ID spring or adapters to make a RS size spring like SAR fit. As a customer you also get access to the tuning hub which provides a crazy wealth of information and data.
Needless to say, this shock is very different (and quite possibly superior) to anything else out there in so many ways. I've got one on the way and am excited to see what it does. I currently have a "me" tuned Fox DHX, Avy tuned Bomber CR, Fluid Focus custom piston and tune Bomber CR, and a stock RS SD all in the same size and ready for some back to back to back testing on this beast;
(Going to need some brake rotors first)

"If you find yourself combining a trunnion (to shorten the shock) with a yoke (to lengthen the shock), put down the bong and start again when you’re sober."I'm going to order one, just not decided on the when yet. Also, just bought an e-storia as a side hustle to my storia v3
Edit: this had me smiling a lot.
I don't take notice of many suspension frames, do any have Trunnion and a Yoke?I'm going to order one, just not decided on the when yet. Also, just bought an e-storia as a side hustle to my storia v3

Sounds like something Scott would do.......with 6mm hardware.
Doesn't work properly on the Dorado Air spring, you have to depress the core a decent bit to equalize the valve.
If you just burp it like a normal fork you end up with a pressure difference between the neg and pos spring.
There's no hills in Australia so I've never been on a ride where I've needed to change the pressure, plus I'm a pretty shit rider so near enough is good enough.
EDIT, normally the edge of the valve cap is enough to bleed some air, a 4mm allen key is a bit fancy.
If you know your trails, you know how much travel you should be using. Ultimately that determines the pressure needed.
No more Air Drop?Merry Christmas/happy holidays!

Yep still have it currently running a Smashpot Lyrik.
It uses the same size shock, at some point going to put that "rapid revalve" to the test.
