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)....
Yeah, I have no problem with your proposed method of testing. I think it is probably the best method to start with (to see if you can feel the difference) and then the ultimate test would be identical shock builds with different rings, then see if you can feel the difference on the track.
My comments, rather, had to do with individuals making tech suggestions without having done the required testing themselves. I have no problem with giving half-informed opinions, however, if they are presented that way.
