[QUOTE="mac5005, post: 640702, member: 4650"] That's a very interesting thought. The fox dsc is for dual speed adjustments, one for low speed events and one for high speed. The trouble I see with flow control on just the resi hose, If you get enough flow restriction to feel a difference at low speed, then that will be way too much restriction for high speed, possibly causing shock to hydro lock, or feel like it's bottoming, as the pressure in the shock would spike: This would be identical to what happens in an air shock as it approaches full bump. Not saying it won't work, just kicking the idea around. The floating piston just separates the oil and n2 in the resi. It also applies pressure to the oil to keep it from foaming. The other thing is the ifp has to move to allow for the volume of oil in the resi to raise as the shock shaft takes up more volume in the shock itself during bump. I'm not saying it won't work lol. But if you get it on, and start tuning it, and hit a big bump and it feel super stiff all of a sudden, you know why. My concerns with the flow control valve are based on the same principles as to how the Bleeds work in the piston. Low speed, the oil can pass straight thru the bleeds. As soon as shaft speed increases, the oil stops going thru the bleeds, and forces the valve stack open. With the flow control on the resi hose, there would be no "valve" to open as the piston speed increases. I think it would work. Just don't know how well. I say do it, and report back the effects.
