CR22 is reported to have tossed the air forks ... -- Seems a little weird these guys can go against the companys' latest and greatest ... ~3:12 mark View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=b-r540r8TD4
Air forks are on the new bikes these japan companies are selling ... -- He's not the only one to have issues with this air bag device .... Either RV2 is dialed in now or he has tossed them also ... --
while they now are minus the springs, it has over double the oil capacity and the dampening components are more complex and heavier. I think it's back to the drawing boards for the new forks...
Boyle's law states that all gasses expand at basically the same rate. The moisture in air is more of a problem but dry air and nitrogen perform the same. The nitrogen molecule is larger than oxygen's and is the primary reason it is preferred as it doesn't leak through rubber as easily. More of an issue in shock bladders and tires. It does anyway whether air is the primary (only) spring or just the secondary spring. The spring shocks we all love and accept are subject to, and exhibit, the same effects of expansion. I don't think that is the issue with them ... It is in its infancy of R&D and they are dealing with a significantly larger cartridge and valving. It will take time. I'm still not sold and prefer springs front and rear! So does Reedy! And Dungey LOL!
