I quess in 2months time even the 30mm stuff will be obsolete gear & a newer suspension system will be offered

Thats pretty cynical Scott! Progress is relentless ( as it jolly well should be ) but not quite at that pace, excepting at the very very sharp end of MotoGP and WSBK. Where also big budgets exist to fund same.

Then all of the cartridges that you have seen are first generation, all the later model Ohlins cartridges that precede new 30mm used bending shim stack midvalves. We sold out of the first generation ones at least 3 years back and have updated ever since.

Ah yes... but you will only get them "as delivered".
The springs and valving in my FGK cartridges are ALL different to the "as delivered" spec. RT makes sure they are set up for YOU as part of his service.

Springs and valving are indeed customised to the individual rider and application. If he / she is dissatisfied we change it until they are. We also do not bastardise with non Ohlins pistons and lower quality valving shims, there is no need.

" Cynical " my motive is neither bad or selfish Robert just my own veiw & my opinion . From the rate that you change suspenion spec's from one week to the next , it is fair to say even from what you have done for my Ohlins since I have paid you to change it from one spec to the next as new & better modifiction's have become available .

Just how bad are these shims? Shim manufacture is not rocket science, Bohler Uddeholm have a vast range of shim steel, as long as you get the correct edge profile your done.

If they turned up at Ohlins they would be rejected by their quality control department ( I have seen this department a number of times and know how it operates ) 100% certainty. They scrutinise incoming parts from sub contractors much more so than many other manufacturers, especially if its a new supplier.
With shims its not so much a matter of the material it is the cut and finish and as you say edge profile.
As the approved Ohlins distributor to NZ we are not going to lower our standards to increase profit, simple. Moreover we loyally support our supplier, loyalty is a big thing with some businesses, still.

Bohler Uddeholm are represented in almost every country except New Zealand or Africa so I'd hazard a 50/50 guess where he's not
