And there was silly old me for decades setting up my forks correctly so that the mechanical end stops did NOT occur in the std damper assemblies. If you BOTHER to measure things you will find that that there is about 1/8 inch more movement in the damper assemblies than there is with the fork tubes in the sliders.......You simply setup the damper rod and nut in the fork tube top bolt (as some call the big nut) so the damper tube assembly can never be a mechanical end stop.
