RS External / Internal Floodgate

penfoldukwmb · June 2007

This may be a silly question, but can somebody explain the difference/benefits between external and internal floodgates on RS Revelation forks. Only ask as I have seen some U-Turn Revelation 409's for less than some Revelation 426's and wondered what difference there is between the two. Hope that makes sense!

IIRC floodgate is the force required to blow off the lockout on the fork. Internal vs external is pretty obvious. It is much nicer to be able to tailor you floodgate extrenally, but no the end of the world if you have to take the forks to pieces to do it, or you could live with the factory setting.

Bacically wither you can ajust it out side the fork or you need to go inside the fork to ajust it. It says that in the manuel.

dunk is almot right but i think he has just missed it slightly.

there is Zero difference in the Floodgate. the external version has a gold knurled knob to set it. the internal one rquires the removal od a nice gold cap and the insertion od a 2.5mm allen key to set it (or you can use the red rebound adjuster).

Oh and no dismanteling is required ride_whenever.

well how much is it going to cost you?

i have forks with both and i have set the floodgate on each and then left it.

one thing to note. the external knob does not clear all frames.
