Have Avo solved the issue with the remote canisters not fitting through the strut top hole yet?

I have a pair of Kumho r800 gravel tyres for sale, fantastic tyres imo.

dry break connector.

Or @EVOgone may be able to offer some thoughts.

dry break connector.

Do they need depressurising or can you disconnect the staublis as is? Which size are they?

 

[EVOgone]

Interesting on the dry break connector, not 100% how that would work without introducing some sort of air bubble in the system...?
Regards Gavel not done anything but obviously softer spring damper setting but surface dependant etc. Works Renault manual highlights 230 front vs 115 rear (if 1:1 coilover used) but would definitely stiffen the rear beam running that soft.

Would the residual pressure be enough to stop any air ingress into the reservoirs Steve?

That said, had always assumed they had to be depressurised to reconnect.

 

[bloke]

depressurize to disconnect, connect and then pressurise.
