Damper rod forks are a compromise, which means wrong in both cases, you want damping on slow speed compression, like dive under braking, but little damping on high speed, like hitting a bump. A fixed hole size isn't linear either, 2x the flow will give 8x the resistance IIRC (its a square or cube law...). So basically forks dive like fark, but lock up solid on hitting a bump. Good solution eh...
Moral is, do what you want to the holes, they'll still be wrong. He's talking rubbish.

Brilliant. thanks for clearing that up! Springs it is (got them this afternoon
)
He's done it on bikes before I don;t know how to break it to him, would it work on *some* types of forks?
