Although I understand the basic theory,  my advanced fluid flow dynamics is sadly abit lacking.

Don't Fox shock's use high pressure nitrogen as is ??

Yes. But in different measures, and in a different way. They use about 150psi behind the IFP, and 75-200 in the boost chamber (a secondry IFP). And the Millyard runs @ 2300psi IIRC.

So even if you run a DHX 5 AIR @ 300psi with max boost your total psi is 650, but it's spread over 3 chambers with X amount of volume.

THe Millyard condenses this pressure into a smaller chamber, almost tripling it. And then uses clever manupulation of the oil flow to control it as far as I can make out from what's been published on it. Which isn't much

Okay thats high pressure,  but still beyond my ability especially at 1:15am

"The bike has been designed to be quickly and easily folded up to fit into a small car boot by simply removing the front wheel and the rear shock bolt. The swing arm pivots on the bottom bracket and allows the rear wheel to swing round into the front forks. Once removed from the car, the bike can be ready to race in under a minute."

the spring is the damper on that too they claim

No they don't. It's just that both of them run on air.

Shame,  I was planning on nicking the shock and selling it for 7.2Mil to the chinese,  yes I'd already started negiotations on the price

"The shock becomes incredibly hot during riding" So, is that just on a UK 5min dh run? what about doing an hour long dh (like the mega?)

Evidently not an issue on tanks though is it?

betcha millyard sell that suspension design to one of the big boys under licence sometime SOON and then we can all buy one

 I am SO up for this happening, as well as the enclosed transmission.
