His first language is french, not english. Attacking his grammar has nothing to do w/ the issue.

He basically said any adj. set under #3k is going to do it. What he is saying makes sense. Who cares if the people wrote the book on it did it that, it's probably from a cost standpoint like he alluded too. There's probably too much engineering involved to do hyd. valves on cheaper shocks.

My understanding is that at least w/ a secondary valve, you can make minor adjustments since the shock should be suited for the spring you picked out and only need minor adjustments. By just bleeding the main valve, you're messing w/ the total dampening and you shouldn't need to make such drastic changes. I'm not saying what the guy says is gospel, I'd just like to hear some thoughts on it.
