Title: Shock valve setup
Post by: Andreas Schlachter on Feb 18, 2026, 07:08 PM
Hi Ron,


what do you think about the forces (velocity) rebound and compression with. Is this to stiff  or soft? I have 700 springs on front axle? in europe they sadly have no experiences.
Shocks are from ohlins lmj.
727lb corner weight 50/50 square.
roadcorse.

thanks andi

A few things,

First, please convert the numbers to US equivalents for me. I need pounds of force & inches per second.

Second, the compression ramp SHAPE looks OK, but I can't tell how much force is there.

Third, the the rebound ramp looks horrible.  Way too much rebound for a linear curve like you have. I suggest you have it revalved with a digressive piston on the rebound side. Again, I can't tell how much force is there.
