- r-zeta reverse engineers rebound numbers based on spring rate [see zeta_backwards_shc.xlsx]
- Where co-zeta is for a specific bike and lev ratio, ro-zeta is only dependant on the spring rate so it is good for all bikes and lev ratio.
- Current ro-zeta curves.
- 100_74_70
- 93_73_70
- 85_72_70
- 78_71_70
- 70_70_70
- -
- Use curve 93_73_70 and shoot for rebound numbers at 100% or below.
- Better to be a bit under and stiffen rebound clicker as needed. Keeping rebound bleed area at r-15 or less will ensure there's enough low speed compression force from mv piston.

- CURRENT RULE OF THUMB
- Ideal r-zeta curve should be over .70 at 1-5ips then digress to .70 or a bit under at 40-50ips.
- This gives more rebound at lower velocities to stabilize the chassis, and allows faster reb for the overdamped wheel at higher velocities.
