Two quick things about dampers.

As the super-duper dampers supposedly being built by my friend Dave have never appeared, as it was becoming increasingly apparently that there’s no point relying on something made out of vapour and wishes I finally decided to go elsewhere.

As I’ve had good experience of the Protech dampers in the past I decided to buy some of their new double adjustables. They arrived earlier this week and here’s one disporting itself languidly on the kitchen table. Of course, this means there will be 8 things to twiddle on the dampers which should confuse me alarmingly. The only problem I can see so far is that the twiddlers (and it’s black for bump, red for rebound) are really a bit close together and it could be rather tricky to adjust at the circuit.

The other super-duper thing was that I sent off the damper that I bent at Brands to Protech on Monday afternoon. Absolutely amazingly, when I got home yesterday it was back; this time complete with a rod that was straight. They don’t even appear to have asked me for any money which is odd. I’ll phone them to make sure I do pay them…

So, a big vote of thanks for Protech who, as before, get a prize for truly superior customer service. Fantastic stuff.
