bladder ::: also do you run with or without the bladder , and again when and what conditions etc ..

sorry if these seem stupid questions , but i want to get my head round a few things ..

rebound - never, ever, ever run any rebound. rebound is a result of overfilling the shocks (too much oil), and if you try to build your shocks with rebound the first jump you go over it will blow the excess oil out of your shocks (unevenly)

pistons - generally, I find the pistons that work for me and then only fine tune via oils for different tracks

bladders - personally, no, I prefer emulsion style shocks. it's easier to be consistent, in building/bleeding them and in their performance
