Great write-up, Frank. I love the idea for the air springs. I'm involved in transit bus manufacturing quality assurance, and transit bus maintenance, and air spring suspension is all that is used on the big buses. The air bladders are extremely tough, and last for hundreds of thousands of miles, literally, on transit coaches. That's not to say that some don't fail, but most last the life of the bus (12 years, 500K).
I'm heading down to Slade on Saturday if you're interested in checking them out a week early. Otherwise, hopefully I'll see you on the trails in action some other time.
Take care.
