The AE shocks are in desperate need of an update if you ask me - an easier way to install / remove the orings would be my only real wish.

Guessing it's because bladders don't actually eliminate air in the shock they just move it behind a bladder, so the shock isn't 100% filled with oil and under the displacement of the piston this will compress by differing amounts depending how fast the piston moves, probably only a small difference but certainly from an engineering point of view the AE shocks are more 'correct' than others on the market, whether this actually makes a major difference considering they're ridiculously hard to build consistently is debatable though
