OK Let's start this thread with a bang. Bug you mite want to move this to the (KPI thread) I don't know.
Here it is. In the March/April 2001 Sand Sports mag there is and article by Doug Dixon and Michael Sommer on The straight scoop on long-travel suspensions. I am attaching a scanned copy in Adobe reader. Just click on it and print it out. I used this article like a bible when I built my suspension and it all worked out like a dream.
They clear up allot of the terminology that allot of people don't understand.
Six pages long and allot of good pictures.
