![]() This isn't my explanation but its a good one, if the owner is on here come claim it i have a feeling i remember where it come from but I'm not 100% as its old.Ī cone valve allows you to have a stiffer fork until a high enough strike speed where it is softer than a normal fork utilizing a "mid speed valve" with a shim stack.Ī cone valve is an attempt at a design that feels stiff/firm but supple. I'd say many of the Factory bikes cone valves are actually running a standard piston/midvalve setup. ![]() ![]() You can convert the cone valves to standard shim stacks pretty easily. Doesn't mean you'll necessarily be more prone to liking them, just that they'll probably be closer to what the Tuner intended. Therefore, the same setup on two different bikes may feel different.Īll that means is it might take a few tuning iterations from whatever "baseline" setting to get them right whereas standard shim stacks tend to be more consistently representative of the desired intent. ![]() Now all parts have mfg tolerances, but the WP design is extraordinarily sensitive to them. A valving spring and or piston/cone from one production run may differ from another even thought the part numbers are the same simply due to mfg tolerances. Cone valves are very hard to tune as damping is super sensitive to the piston/cone tolerances and cone valve spring rate/preload which in turn are very difficult to measure/predict. ![]()
