good discussion
I have to say, speaking from an uneducated lay-mans point of view that I totally agree with Blacktiger on this.
I've tried thinking about it from Jaak's view but just can't get my head around how a stiffer rate spring irrispective of preload could absorb road imperfections better than a softer rate one.
Its the introduction of oils and air gaps that change the effectiveness of both springs. Would a stiff spring in a light oil not compress at the same rate as a soft spring with heavy oil? The compression rate can't be the only consideration here as surely a softer rate spring simply needs less force to create a reaction, meaning higher absorbtion of bumps?
if not i'll get my coat.....!
