Give me proof. You can't backup a point that doesn't exist. If you had any understanding of the simple mechanics of gas springs you would see the logical fallacy in your argument. Would gas springs be used in the aerospace and auto industry if they failed constantly?Accept the risk, its going to fail one day and you'll be left with a practically useless throne,
I've seen many.
The more you use it, the more you increase the chance of failure, its the nature of the design.
I've yet to see an older, well used hydraulic throne working at an acceptable efficiency rate, they're all either dogged out, frozen, or completely dead, its just a matter of time.
That sounds more like a problem with the lever (or lock, whatever it's called) than the spring.I don't know if there's a valve or a seal or what but mine failed after about 3.5 years. It still goes up, but goes down really slowly when you sit on it.
Same here. Although the bounce doesn't make a difference to me, the convenience of a gas shock over a spindle would be worth a new throne annually. Mine is three years old now and other than some dust is exactly like I bought it. For anyone that's owned a car for over five years, have you ever had to replace the gas springs in your doors? I'm guessing nobody here has had to replace one. I have no clue how someone could be stupid enough to believe these springs aren't durable. Is it ignorance or a poor understanding of technology that causes this?
Its pretty small minded to compare a strut on a car door to a drum throne...
... A spindle throne could be designed with a bounce.
