But you've been reading this thread long enough to know why I messed this one up. We have seen several examples of people on this thread giving their opinion (either positive or negative) on a part they haven't tried. Or recommending one "setup" over the other when they have not tried both. I was just happy to see you weren't falling into that trap.
Reason I advised to compare pushing the piston back forth inside the shock with no oil ?
Is to compare the stick the rings bring what ever brand you are using .
Less stick is best for traction & performance ..
One ring install is easy way to reduce the stick.
Trimming .030 off the cartridge is great because you still get the benefits two seals bring (less oil leak)....
