I investigated the possiblity of converting to gas shock absorbers myself and
did some investigation into it, but I don't have that information to hand, so I'm
going from memory.
I think my conclusion was that it wasn't worth the money compared to the
benefits received, as I mentioned, correctly working lever arm shock
absorbers were perfectly adequate for normal road use.
The comments I'd heard from people who had converted to gas shock
absorbers followed similar lines - ie the benefits received didn't justify the
expenditure. A case of the old 90/10 rule.
Other comments were that the gas shocks were 'too firm' for normal road
use, bear in mind gas shocks are more intended for race applications where
adjustability and a firmer ride are preferred.
Trevor, if you've got plenty of money and you want to squeeze the last ounce
of performance from your Spridget go for the gas shocks, but don't be too
surprised if you find little or no difference in handling or ride and if anything
the ride is firmer.
