BTW here is a air spring assembly from a Fox Float -- the one on bottom(the other is a RS Dual-position air spring assembly)...see the negative spring? And yeah, I've been servicing floats for several years now. Think I have a good grasp of them...thanks.
Bit of a hijack but more of a newbie question, The bottom shock in your photo shows a 2nd spring wound around the other way.
What do you guys mean buy "negative spring", does it mean that if you lift the front wheel it is supported by a spring? meaning you don't get the annoying bump that I get with the cheaper forks I have when you lift the front wheel?
Or is it about a second spring coming into play once the forks get pushed down past a pre-set point to help prevent bottoming out?
