Great video, as usual, thank you! I'm just starting out, so could you please elaborate on why you don't want the adjusters too much closed? (said around at 40:00) Edit: I fount an answer under your 'Inside the Ohlins TTX 40' video: "(...)You have to be careful on any single tube shock with a reservoir compression adjuster. If you start closing down the rebound or compression independent of one another the shock gets out of balance and bad things happen. (...)" So this can be a problem, if they are not-so-well valved and/or pressure balance is not checked?
@theohlinsguy46492 ай бұрын
HI Ben. Pressure balancing is time consuming and difficult exercise that is rarely if ever done. If a single tube shock is done correctly it is as good as any shock. One of the advantages of Ohlins TTX technology is that you don't have to worry about pressure balancing or cavitation. It is actually adjustable in a wide range. I wrote a thing on shock adjustability that applies to single tube shocks that I will try to attach. file:///Users/douglasbrenner/Desktop/SHOCK%20ADJUSTABILITY.pdf

Thank you a lot, Douglas! I am just starting to understand suspensions and your videos helped a lot. I come from the motorcycle world, but rather from the convenient, than the competitive side. My questions are, however, rather general. How can you say looking at a graph, that this shock with this setting will work for the intended purpose? What are you aiming for, when revalving? What could be the difference between road use and track-oriented use? Or you mainly try to correct anomalies? I would really like to see another video from you, they are of such a good quality.
@theohlinsguy46492 ай бұрын
Hi Ben. Actually some great questions. As for intended purpose, I only have some experience with vehicles that need mechanical grip. When you get into cars with high downforce made from the underside of the vehicle at some point downforce is more important than mechanical grip. At that point the shock is used for keeping the aero in place. I see many "experts" talk about using shocks in mechanical grip cars to keep the "platform" in a certain position. This is not the job of the shock. When this is done you are giving up grip. There are other ways to do this. There is really no difference between motorcycle and auto damping. Also there is no difference between street and track. Grip is grip. Soft is fast. Shocks put out resistance to motion relative to shaft speed so on the track you just get more damping because the shocks/forks are moving faster. Proper compression damping bleeds off extra energy that would have been stored in the spring so you don't need a heavy spring. Enough compression damping is essential and most shocks I see don't have enough. All I want to know is what is the motion ratio so I know what the tire thinks the damping/spring rate is. I only use linear damping. Most vehicles like very similar damping at the wheel. The great question is correcting anomalies. If you are valving for anomalies like hitting a big bump etc. then you are compromising the other 99% of your grip for 1%. Anomalies are just that and I ignore them in my valving.

What software do you use for shim stack design?
@theohlinsguy46492 ай бұрын
Hi. I don't really use any software. I just kind of know what I want to see and mess with it until I get it where I like it. I just have lots of experience but still need to mess with it to get what I want. I have a dyno to see what I have done. I have lots of data stored on my dyno so I kind of know what I have done before to get what I want and I have a starting point. There is no software that tells you what is better or worse that I know of and if you can find one it will be bogus. There is software for Ohlins TTX40s that you can also use with some success on TTX36. Look up Ohlins Valve Referencing Program (VRP). There are a bunch of different shim stacks in the program and last time I looked two valve choices. (linear and digressive) It can get you in the ballpark of where you want to be. I never use two way adjusters (low and high speed) so if you are using single adjustment you can just put the High Speed at about 38 and it usually is close to correct when manipulating the low speed adjustment. Remember that this software just tells you what the damping might look like but not what is better or worse.

@theohlinsguy46495 ай бұрын
Hi. Is that a TTX46 in the front? If so the reservoir serves a much different purpose. The through shaft does not displace any oil so no mechanism for dealing with displaced oil is necessary. All the small reservoir is for is to allow for oil expanded by heat to go. The separator piston in the canister does not move when the shaft moves. In any TTX there is also no need for high pressure in the canister. They are usually set at between 6 and 8 bar because there is no danger of cavitation with that technology. Usually the TTXs have a solid piston. There are pistons available with blow off and high frequency configurations but I rarely see this in the applications I use.

Thank for the video and you explanations on why you don't see a reasonable application for digressive damping. I think I understnad your point of view with regards to the fact that for a position "insensitive" damper with the only variable being velocity of the shaft there is really no gain to digressive damping as with a linear damping the shaft would just reach a bit higher velocity compared to a digressively damped shock and still achieve the required "total" damping but just at a higher final shaft velocity before turning reducing the velocity and going into rebound. I think I also understand your view that a linear charecter for a position "insensitive" shock give more mechanical grip due to it being "smoother" with regards to damping between changing shaft velocities (that is - whatever the change in shaft velocity, the change in damping force is linear so "as smooth as possible"). Please correct me if I've understood something wrong. Also, can you please tell me what happens with shocks that are position sensitive and also what kinds of shocks are those (the position sensitive ones), especially with regards to off-road motorcycle applications? Thank you very much!

Sometimes it is just better to know what works than try to explain why. I'm just not that smart and it is a moot point to me. I just know from learning from the best and experiencing it first hand that it works and the other doesn't. Trying to quantify things in something as dynamic and a race car or motorcycle is pretty much impossible. I don't work with off road position sensitive shocks but what they usually do is have bypass tubes at different places on the body so when the piston gets to that place the adjustment changes. relative to velocity. There might be other ways that it can be done but I am not interested in that side of damping so I just don't know.

Hallo and thanks for sharing your knowledge in these videos! I wanted to ask if you could explain and maybe make a video of dyno tests on the KARLOFF test shock to demonstrate the influence of rod position in the shock versus force with constant test velocity. For example, a tests series using constant 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 in/mm vecolities using whole stroke length of the shock to see how the force changes with regards to rod position in the shock at a given velocity. I'm not sure that it has 100% applicability to real world scenarios (I'm interested in motorcycle off-road racing like MX, enduro, rally, etc.), but I'd be really interesting to see how a shock works while being brought thourgh its stroke at a slow velocity compared to a fast one (with the same shimstack, bleeed clicker position, etc), esentially to understand the influence on the shim stack/bleed on the rod position in the shock depending on the rod velocity. I hope I made my idea clear and there is something interesting that you could show/teach us. Thanks again!

Hello and thanks for investing the time to share your knowledge! I have a question regarding "internal bleeds" with regards to designing/engineering the "dyno graph". As I understand, for a shock without an externaly controlable bleed ("clickers") there is a need for a "constant" (not variable, like the external clickers) bleed. Can you please elaborate on why there needs to be some bleed and you cannot work without any bleeds? And how does the influence of no bleeds or some internal constant bleeds show up on the dyno? Where there is more influence with regards to velocity of the shaft, where there is less influence, etc.? Essentially, what I'm trying to understand is, what type of a "problem" (or rather a curve geometry) on a dyno chart a constant internal bleed can help to resolve? Thanks!
@theohlinsguy46498 ай бұрын
A bleed is pretty much low speed damping. You can run without bleeds but it makes the damping very digressive. Bleeds also allow pressure to be relieved that has built up in the shock. If the bleeds are closed you get lots of hysteresis
@strifex-suspension-works8 ай бұрын
Thanks for answering, this is exactly what I wanted to know. Just to recap and be sure I got it right - the most influence any time of bleed will have, whether constant internal or externally adjustable, will be at the lower shaft velocities varying the dyno curve (that is, changing the character of the curve) at slow shaft velocities from a somewhat flat or even progressive (what I mean by progressive is non linearly increasing damping force with increasing shaft velocity) to digressive whilst only "shifting" the curve up or down relative to some "midpoint" at higher shaft velocities?

Yes, conventional wisdom is often wrong. Ask one of these people why you need to change damping and how would you change it. I am guessing they all want stiffer springs. Conventional wisdom strikes again! Once you have the damping and springs that work you never have to change them. You don't need different damping and springs for on and off the track or for different tracks. Grip is grip. If you find you need more or less damping initially you can easily valve a bit more or less and try again. My video on clamping shims shows one way to do it.@@nobbytrussin
