is it a pressurized cartridge?
Or is it an "open" cartridge (like those in the "32" series)?
And what about the 36 ?

btw, the quote "bladder" on the picture isn't from me, but from a guy who says that it's a pressurized cartridge.

From that picture, you can ascertain that it's a closed cartridge, and a closed cartridge needs some sort of piston or bladder to keep the oil from cavitating and to deal with temperature changes.

The manual has a warning that says...

"DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE FOX 40 RC2 OR R CLOSED CARTRIDGE SYSTEM UNLESS YOU ARE AN AUTHORIZED FOX RACING SHOX SERVICE CENTER WITH THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS."

Correct me if I'm wrong but I guess the TALAS forks already have an IFP piston, charged with N2. But that's on the TALAS side, not the damper.

It wouldn't surprise me for it to have a pressurized IFP or a bladder.
Ciao!

Are you refering to nitrogen? The Talas 32mm forx dont use nitrogen, at least Fox has said to use their pressurization needle tool and just pump air into the IFP to 150 psi. I dunno if the 36 is different but I would highly doubt it.

Yeah, my bad... it has an IFP but no N2.... my bad, sorry.

As always, you're correct DGC!

I miss too, I have to put my foot in my mouth at times.
But thanx for the vote....!

update...

it isn't pressurized...but it has got a (very) compressible "bladder". I recall that the lefty uses a similar setup.

Any pics... you gotta share them. More details Claude... I know you have them
