WHAT IS A REMOTE RESERVOIR FOR?

All dampers require something to compress internally to allow the rod to enter the body, in the case of a gas monotube this is achieved using a floating piston and a compressible volume of nitrogen.

A damper with a remote reservoir either on a hose or piggybacked onto the side of the shock allows the length of the main shock absorber to be reduced by moving the floating piston assembly to the side, and a much larger volume of nitrogen may be used which has a more consistent pressure during the rod stroke.

As the piston rod is pushed into the top of the body tube, an identical volume of oil is displaced into the remote reservoir. Placing valves in the head of the remote reservoir canister allows us to vary the damping rate in compression as oil is passed through it during the compression stroke. An additional benefit is the ability to cool the nitrogen by mounting the reservoir where there is cooling airflow and away from sources of heat, this will keep the nitrogen at a more constant pressure and help with consistent damping. Remote reservoirs also allow us easier access to the compression valve adjustment knobs.

this is the same sort of system the clio trophy uses. quality stuff

whats the idea of a remote resiovor?

nice

Potentially for sale i have a pair of Leda remote reservoir front struts. They are in very, very good condition and have hardly been used (less than 500 miles on them since i bought them).

They were made with shortened strut tubes so do not suffer from bottoming out like some do.

The tube lengths are as follows:
10.5" Tube,
5.5" Stroke.

Where the strut bolts to the hub one of the holes has a eccentric nut to set camber.

£650 ono or £700 with a pair of just refurbished gaz rear coilovers.
