Awesome animations! I initially thought the adjustment mechanism for the sweep adjustment was similar to the base or high speed valves, where I could adjust between settings (say if I wanted 70 or 80 degrees). I see now this isn't the case, given the discrete number of holes. Much appreciated!

Really love the animations you created. This finally made it fully understandable how this unit works. Very good!

very interesting! super easy to understand graphics! Still waiting for a lightweight steering damper for mountainbikes to prevent jack-knifing :)

Thank you very much! 😄 Well, I'm sure it's just a matter of time until someone figures that out 😆

So the base valve ist "closed" (more damping) good for sand (fast sand) or fast onroad and open (less damping) better for rocks and technical parts ? And the high speed valve is more like a emergency safety when hitting something big ?

Exaaaaactlyy! 😄👌

Do you have to re-adjust your damping after every ride or is it a one time adjust after you install it?

@StepstoPodium Күн бұрын

One time :)

Nice animation but i think you need to mirror it because its the wrong way ? If i am not wrong.

I ran a Scotts for a few years and figured out that unless you are racing flat out high speed desert stuff they provide no real advantage and in some cases can even hinder performance, I raced enduro's for years and mainly ride mountain trail type terrain and for that a stabilizer is an absolute waste of money, that's why you don't see any top hard enduro riders using them, take that high cost of a stabilizer setup and put it into your suspension, you'll get way more bang for your buck.
