| What we're about |
|
| Suspension overview |
| The suspension tuning field is full of myths, misconceptions and guess work. Valve stacks are twisted and tweaked, but no one ever shares what they have done or why. The tuner makes internal valving changes based on his previous experience, and the rider tests the bike and provides feedback on its performance. Experienced tuners have spent hundreds of hours repeating this scenario to become proficient at their job. But difficulties can arise when valving changes don't behave as predicted. The tuner has to decide if the valving change didn't target the expected area or if the rider feedback is inconsistent. There has to be a better way. |

| Fact based suspension information |
| Our goal is to keep guesswork to a minimum. With the use of our suspension dyno and other advanced technologies we methodically evaluate and make step-by-step improvements to the valving setups. Using the dyno allows us to know exactly how valving changes effect the damping curve. And knowing exactly what the forks and shock are doing gives more meaning to rider feedback. Using available technologies also allows misconceptions to be replaced with fact based information, giving tuners the knowledge to dial in any bike for optimum performance. We're not trying to replace seat of the pants testing, just supplement it . . . . . . . . . [Email for more information]. |

| Valving DataBase |
Part of the problem when analyzing large amounts of data is how to store and retrieve the information. We have designed a highly sophisticated database where we store all the valving records and dyno runs. In addition, we have created a variety of tools to analyze the various aspects of the shim stack, flow characteristics, damping curve, springs rates, leverage ratios etc.
Level 3 access to the database allows users to search and compare any of the 129 fork dyno tests and 172 shock dyno tests. Level 3 users also receive 15 custom dyno runs of their choice. You don't even have to ship us your shock. Simply supply the valve stack, we put it in one of our test shocks and provide you with the results. That means you can now compare your custom valve stack against any of the hundred or so stacks already in the database. In a short time, you will learn how shim changes really effect the damping curve, and you'll be able to get rid of some of the old and confusing wives tales associated with suspension tuning . . . . . .

But don't take our word for it. Here are some testimonials.
- Tuner Name . . . Johnny Weedwacker
- Company . . . Weedwacker Suspension and Lawn Care
- Comments . . . This database stuff is sick!
- Tuner Name . . . Joe Muffelinsky
- Company . . . Joe's Muffler and Suspension Shop
- Comments . . . This dyno information is heavy duty and we couldn't get by without it. We even use it when installing catalectic converters.
