    Righto, here is a question. Having never ridden on a gas dampened front end, would the "feel" be any different to riding on fluid dampened suspenders? Would I be correct in assuming that as the dampening is done by a gas and not a solid medium that it would be slightly different?

    I thought they still had oil and worked the same as a shock. The gas is there to keep the oil under a constant pressure, oil still does the damping but under pressure has less chance of cavitation. So maybe the changeover between a comp and reb stroke would be "faster" and then give maybe a more direct feel?

    Kinda a budget (for want of a better word) version of those fancy SBK/GP suspenders with the external gas canister at the bottom of the forks.

    No Craig has got the regulation number of fingers because there was nothing irregular about Alpine stars gloves when he was contracted by them as a crash tester.
    But he really should relieve the accused in the Fielding murder case by coming clean about his part in it.
