Don't know if anybody has been following my suspension post on thumpertalk, but I made my own version of a gold valve, all ports are 4.5mm and bleed port is 1.5mm.

This gives over double the area available for oil flow in the compression stack, so should hopefully allow things to move faster instead of feeling harsh as hell. I've assembled using the same shim stack as the last page, which was a lot better on the weekend, but as the braking bumps got choppier, it got harder and harder. Hopefully this will alleviate the symptoms somewhat...

And to the machinists out there, I know it looks rough as assholes in this picture, it was about half way through the 'tittivation' period when I took it
