I completely understand the relationship between pressure and volume. That's why I would use my compressor with an accurate regulator to control pressures by equalization.

Either way, you are correct... I don't understand the mechanics of the fork fully, that's why I posted this thread. I am most definitely taking your advice and not using my compressor, and this isn't an argument for using a compressor... It is simply a statement of my understanding of the mechanical relationship of volume and pressure and pressure regulation... and the gap (lacktherof) in my understanding of how the fork stores and uses that pressure.

Thank you for the advice, it is much appreciated.
