Nitrogen

<< < (2/4) > >>

hughes:
Thanks Guys,

I do not how my rear shock was even working with no nitrogen or oil present. Can't wait to see how my bike rides and handle after I get done with is project. One Question. O.K if the nitrogen pressure keeps the oil under pressure to prevent foaming then the more nitrogen pressure in the bladder will effect the compression and rebound :?:  Thanks .

Paul:
Not really, a liquid will only compress so far and the amount of pressure it takes to effect viscosity is ALOT more than than the shock body can hanlde.

hughes:
Thanks Paul.

Rick:
As a note, I run between 160-170 pounds of nitrogen.

Rowdy-Yates:
I will add this Nitrogen does not expand and contract due to heat like air. Also it does not condensate.
