The resulting violent air expulsion separates the food medium and damping control is lost (cavatation). If too much food is forced into the air chamber, past this expulsion point, there is a reversal of damping pressure waves. The sudden rise in negative pressure out side the air chamber crates a positive pressure wave inside the air chamber and results in the collision of wave fronts inside the air chamber. While the air chamber is building pressure there is a significant negative pressure wave affecting the pressure in the air chamber (hysteresis). Basically, you blow chunks. Hold out for the gas charged forks. |
I now understand why PK is the go to guy for all your suspension needs. Brilliant!!
