It is not the roadking shock folks. And I said it wrong, I should have said King of the Road.
Anyhoo, the new Ridewell valves have had an engineering change in the last couple of years. They now are designed to be quick responding and they use air like crazy going down the road. I replaced all my HCVs with new Ridewells and my compressor was cycling about every two minutes will traveling. I could see the supply air needle moving.
I replace them with normal deadband, slow acting KOR brand and I have been happy so far.
If you use Ridewells, make sure you get the grey bodied slo flo model. Not the blue model. Good luck finding the grey ones on the internet. Maybe directly from Ridewell is the way to go.
