    What exactly causes shock fade?

    Thank you once again Brian and Fabrico. Brian, thanks for the clarification regarding overheating and fade. I agree with you regarding cost and the de Carbon monotube design vs. the foam-cell insert. Might be a different story in a twin-tube shock I suppose. In any case I have a vastly greater...

    What exactly causes shock fade?

    Brian, thanks very much - your description of the pressure differentials illustrates exactly what I wasn't grasping. Is the theory regarding heated oil simply losing viscosity also a factor in fade, or is it all about cavitation? My experience with shock absorbers is in the realm of...

    What exactly causes shock fade?

    To the engineering experts here - I hope you won't mind a question from a non-expert, although I'm familiar with the general theories of shock absorbers and the different types - monotube, twin-tube, etc., and gas charging. I'm writing a review of a new set of adjustable, twin-tube shock...
