that's the thing that sucks, but I always make sure my forks are clean to keep a fork seal from blowing... but rather than having to dick around with both forks its nice to just check one

Odd... Did it come on your new bike or did you buy it from their website?

Once Showa gets there SFF Air forks figured out and friendly for the public it will be the way to go with only one fork having air in it just like a mountain bike fork and the other handling the damping chores. The biggest problem with air suspension is avoiding a hammock effect with the suspension wanting to stay in mid stroke due to to little air pressure to make them soft on small stuff, yet the air pressure ramping up and making it to harsh in the last 1/3 of travel. Showa is working on this with 2 and 3 air chambers. this way you have a small low pressure chamber for initial movement once that chamber compresses it works the second chamber crating your mid stroke air spring, then compresses the final chamber for bottoming out resistance.

Fantastic design just a little over the top for the average everyday rider and racer.
