I unloaded the spring on this used LE Ballistic AOS shock to test for dampening, and found some curious behavior. It has (fluid?) dampening and no spring for the top ~8mm of travel, but then some sort of internal spring but no dampening for all travel below that? My first thought was that it was a nefarious design, to fool people into thinking it includes dampening. Maybe it's just low on fluid though?
I've had this DNM shock absorber in my shopping list in case the Ballistic shock was one of those cheap designs that doesn't even include dampening, but now I'm not sure if I'd be better off trying to refurbish it. Any thoughts that could help me out?
