nothings intended with the post dude FFS, not sure why you always need to get all defensive and try to call out the "what 's your issue card", or its been tampered with ? photoshopped ? hey heres a thought maybe the ASA stole some and ran a car over it just to piss you off ?
My guess is its obvious the shaft has locked up or jammed on the body and bent on a compression stroke as it had no where to go, but hey im no" suspension technician" i didnt do the special course.
Had i just posted a standard shock body, would you also wanna try to divert about some stickers graphics ? ( forget the fact there is plainly one on the body, and one under the big vertical one
okay ill make it easy and post a stock body below for you, so you can try again.
Truth be known, im just following this thread and the discussions above, including comments you claimed you are the benchmark, which is a bold statement.
Lots of shocks including Ohlins have used 12mm or other small size shafts for years, hey some even leak, some bend, some break, some snap off at the shaft ends and fall right out, so hornet yours are no different, its just a fact all shocks have faults be it in design or usage its just a fact of life, embrace it and help make them better.
Going up to 16mm might make then less likely to stress etc, great im all for moving the units going forward.
Further more, No substainsiation is needed, you do your own R&D work, its a fact that all shocks can bend, as many other brands do also. The brand you represent is no exception and results can be openly gathered, just accept it and use it to make the products better as all suppliers in industry do.
