The project has woken up after a winters hibernation.
Early in the process some miscalculations were made and a bunch of parts had to be scrapped.
New stuff has arrived and the furious building and rebuilding of shocks has taken place.
It looks good so far. Damping rates in both high and low speed damping are easily attainable at both ends (and everywhere in between) of the usable scale.
The low speed damping is set by piston choice and damping is equal in bound and rebound. (same as conventional 10th rc shock)
High speed damping can be set independently for bound and rebound. (although provisions have been made in the piston design so that bound and rebound are proportional (not equal) using the same settings when using a particular oil weight (its complicated))
If all goes as planned, I will post some test rig video where you can see the new shocks in action along side standard ones.
