Everything you wanted to know about Shock Absorbers
Among other things, it says:
"One piece of advice… don’t run dual shocks just because they look cool, OK? However, if you get frequent heat-induced shock fade and don’t have the budget for reservoir or bypass shock absorbers, you may benefit from running a dual or triple shock setup. However, this doesn’t mean that you just slap another set (or two) of shocks in addition to your existing ones. You should get a set of more lightly valved shock absorbers to replace the ones you have now. Do the homework and figure out how much absorbing your shocks need to do before you add some more, that is unless you don’t like the fillings in your teeth."
