Where can we can we get new replacement hydrolastic displacers??
I need a couple for a Riley Kestrel 1300 MkII manufactured in 1969;

It seems the hydrolastic suspension works well with the Moulton Bicycles that have a unified rear triangle but I question how useful it is on the older AM space frame bicycles where the rear triangle is not unified and the rear suspension often, reacts if one does not accelerate in a precisely defined manner.

In the video, The Innovative Engineer, AM indicates that the air pressure valve is provided to increase the stiffness.

AFAIK the pressure has no significant influence on the damping and/or stiffness, it is needed to keep the fluid were it should be. Thereofre the actual pressure does not matter in a wide range.
