The ETA system doesn't really work like you're thinking. It is a lock down. When you engage the ETA, the fork compresses, but does not rebound, it wouldn't work for tight singletrack riding as you call it. It is meant for climbing for riding.Dirtboyracer said:
WRONG, all ETA forks are "incrimental", and they work in 20mm incriments, meaning that you can use ETA to lock it down halfway, or at any 20mm incriment inbetween max and fully extended. It won't work like a fully extended fork obviously, but this is usefull when you want to use the ETA function but you don't want or need to lock it down all the way at once, and as you ride further impacts will usually compress it and cause it to be locked down further (as long as the ETA lever is engaged).crisillo said:
Jayem's delivery typically offends rather than get the point across. But what he's saying is mostly true. When you engage the ETA, every time you exert enough force on the fork to make it compress it stays there. Engaging the ETA doesn't guarantee a full lock down all the way down to 30mm of extension, it only goes as far down as you compress it. When you do so just slightly, you have a preloaded spring with near full travel left (minus the amount it is compressed) and each time you hit a bump past the threshold of the current state of the coil, it will compress further. I am not so sure about the 20mm increment business, however.crisillo said:
Yeah i know... but since he posts like that.. I wanted to see if he got into a yelling game... j/kMK_ said:
