( oddly enough the tac air fork spring looks almost indenticle to the graph / curve of Aer ).
AER AIR SPRING BY THE NUMBERS
Looking at the chart the 1st data point at 50mm is 1.049kg / mm , 100mm =. 670kg / mm , 150mm =. 685kg / mm , 200mm =. 871kg / mm , 250mm = 1.304kg / mm , 300mm = 2.316 .
Comparing the averages of the air spring vs the metal coil spring .
In this segment Im doing a side by side comparason of the average rate of data points from the AER air spring and the metal coil spring starting with the first two points at 50mm and 100mm divided by 2 , then data points at 50,100,150mm added together divided by 3 , and so on . ( See next page )
. 99kg / mm METAL COIL SPRING
As you can see on the . 99kg / mm spring graph , a straight rate metal coil spring is extremely linear .
. 99kg / mm METAL COIL SPRING BY THE NUMBERS
At data point 1 at 50mm the rate is . 987kg / mm , 100mm =. 999kg / mm , 150mm =. 997kg / mm , 200mm =. 994kg / mm , 250mm =. 983kg / mm , 300mm = 1.0kg / mm
