I am curious as to what it takes to get shock fade.
Assuming the sled is cold, would a 10 minute ride down a very bumpy trail riding very aggressive, be enough?
How about a 5 minute ride?
I guess I would assume that this is very dependent upon the valving / spring combination of the shock. As a shock providing most of the compression resistance would heat up faster then with the spring? Or maybe that is wrong, as the heat generated is more of a function of movement?
You know, I am not sure if I even know what it means when a shock fades.. I know that the damping is greatly reduced, but what is happening internally to reduce that damping?
