co2 and the x-valve

[Shane-O-Mac]

Can't you run it the a ROCK stab which keeps ALL liquid out???

You cant really keep ALL the liquid out. Now the reason that Palmers says this, is that you set up the reg to run a lil bit under 600psi, at that pressure Co2 cannot stay liquid. BUT that depends on temperature. the colder it is outside, the lower the temo is that Co2 cannot stay liquid. My suggestion would be to use a stabilizer set to 575 or so, and an anti-siphon tank. But that negates the weight savings. My recommendation would be to find an ANS or Shocktech aluminum back half for your classic valve and run an anti-siphon tank setup for your bottomline. Truth is that there isnt that huge of a weight difference between the valves.

Well the difference in weight is enough for me to want something lighter. I just don't want to run off get an x-valve then break it with co2. Maybe I will just get a different back for the classic.

Still would like to know a definite answer though.

Too bad I don't have a answer button where Tom would just come out of no where, answer the question, then fade back into the shadows. Think something like the staples easy button.
