I made my own conversion brackets (just extended the non-rotoflex mounting out far enough to allow the damper to clear the rotoflex). Used standard Herald dampers and have never really had any ride issues. But...I have always had problems with rotoflex life. Recently, fed up with changing rotoflexes (or more usually fake 'equivalents') I converted to CV joints and during the design process I measured the plunge of the driveshaft over full suspension travel. This turned out to be 11mm. This was a surprise as it was about double what I had been led to expect by various sources. Interestingly, nearly half occurred in the very last few mm of droop (angle of the wishbone becomes rather acute). This made me wonder whether the Herald dampers are a bit long and whether this was the cause of my rotoflex hassles. This is irrelevent to me now with CV joints, but the moral of the story may well be that running the wrong dampers can also have consequences for your rotoflexes. Any thoughts on this?<br><br>Regards<br>Nick Jones<br><br>nick@tengaston.plus.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
