So adjusting gas pressure, allows you to 'shift' your compression range. So
you can have your ranges high for dry conditions and then let gas out for
rain?
I would say this is a third adjustment. At least an adjustment not
available to shocks that don't have this 'feature'.
And is fast and slow compression changed linearly with gas pressure? If
not, then its a third adjustment.
But if the SEB blessed it then, that's fine....
