RIPPIN' IT UP Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Just for a project been experimenting with an old banshee rear shock to see if I could get one to operate using an inert gas as a spring medium in place of the coil. From calculations pressures will get quite high at close to bottoming out but nothing to serious. Some minor testing in a jig with a lower pressure seems to show promise.

trickedcarbine Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 So, pretty much turning the stocker in to a Marvin Shaw? Or would it be closer to a Fox Float? Quote
RIPPIN' IT UP Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Posted July 22, 2017 Yeah pretty much, plan to use nitrogen for the inert gas, cause if my calculations are correct at full travel the pressure will be close to 600psi.Sent from my ZTE T84 using Tapatalk Quote
RIPPIN' IT UP Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Posted August 4, 2017 Got the modified shock in ended up changing the seal head set up for the gas chamber, so far all seems good, try take it out for a ride & put it to the test. Sent from my ZTE T84 using Tapatalk Quote
