RE: Purchase of cartridge for future use ... what is best way to stash it to prevent degration?

"In fact, I would be more leery of storing a cartridge long term without ever using it (NOS) vs using a cartridge lightly over a long period of time. The latter probably would better preserve the compliance of the suspension."

+1 I read a post by a MC cart maker. He had bags of 30+ yr old carts that were given to him. He said he never saw one with rubber damper failure. It was always the suspension wire that went bad. They use synthetic rubber compounds and it doesn't take the abuse of a car tire.
