| Kev, maybe I am completely off my rocker, but I don't agree. Clearly the inertia of the wheel has an effect on how much the spring gets compressed. However, the contribution from bumps towards the eventual deflection of the spring is minor. The much larger determining factor is the heavy braking period and preventing the forks from reacing the end of travel. That's why the carry such an array of springs. |
