Thread: is someon using dual rear shocks in his 110?

I think Koni would know a thing or two about their shocks,load up the back with some sand bags and have a run on stockton. Pat

Tyres are a spring, and are pretty much undamped, there is a little friction in the sidewall flexing, but not much.

Changing pressure changes the rate, and on a very, very odd occasion, if the tyre and spring rates match you are in a world of hurt as things start to cycle uncontrollably.
It is a very rare thing though, but yes, lower the tyre pressures a lot and it feels like an undamped ride spring.

Rick,whats your take on Rancho's?. Pat

Yeah, and coincidentally I was at similar pressures to what Drover was running - it was a pretty low speed oscillation - i.e scalloped out sand dunes, rather than say corrugations or the occasional larger whoop, which were both fine. That's probably a bit of a test against a damper issue?

so matching the valving to spring rate

No!

thats why I said 4x at EACH corner, even then they probably wouldnt be great. No I have not run them, but have heard and read enough about them to steer clear.

Shame they are not as good as their marketing.

I've had Koni,Billies,Armstrong,Boge,Sachs,Tough dog and OME.I want to try a different brand. Pat
