ke382TG Forums Junkie Registered: May 2002	Re: Nitrogen filling for tryes Thu, 14 October 2004 02:59 Another area in which nitrogen is used is inside shock absorbers for cars, bikes etc. Now in a non car related industry I have worked on hundreds of shocks, most claim to be nitrogen filled from the factory and that refilling them with "air" will result in a decrease in performance. I am yet to witness or hear of anyone who has witnessed this decrease in performance or for that matter any negative effect of using "air". I only brought this up as an aside to the topic, as these shocks I have worked on hold pressures in their static state any where from 75psi to over 300psi (obviously once compressed these pressures increase also). The temps that these chambers containing air or nitrogen can become quite high (never measured it but can be too hot to touch and will melt/deform plastic coatings). I don't know the answer to why nitrogen is meant to be better than air in shocks, tyres etc (minimising moisture content is the only advantage I have identified). The reason that is spread around is less thermal expansion for stable pressures under a range of conditions (obviously a benefit in shock absorbers and tires if it were true) But having both gases perform in the stessful environment of a shock absorber I am yet to identify a difference (I am not saying there is no diffrence rather that it is not distinguishable). A note too is that recently a shock manufacturer went against the status quo and approves "air" refills now. [Report message to a moderator]
