nitrogen and NRS frameAaron

I can get strait nitrogen from school and put it into my shock. I heard that this is better, if I do do this what should I set for my pressures? Also same I'm getting a MXR-ECC marzocchi which is air, and i'll probably put in nitrogen too, any suggestions? I weigh 165 and ride rough trails w/drops.

Thanks

if your thinkin this will save weight, think again, air is 70% nitrogen, ive never heard of any advantages, just my .02

Should be the same as air as previously posted, at least as far as we're concerned. In my hardcore paintball days, we used nitrogen as well as compressed air in our air systems using a top off rating of 3000psi, which would last aprox. 1000-1600rds(depending on the tank size), which was what was shot by a pro player each game if not eliminated early, of course. We were told the only advantage in pure nitrogen is it would have less contaminates in it(water vapor, micro dirt, etc)as opposed to pulling air from a highend compressor system that fills say...scuba tanks, etc. I do not know if this is indeed a fact, as we saw no diff. in the way the guns performed either way.
