Title: suspention
Post by: spider on 13 September 2012, 11:02:45 am
i had my forks done one year ago at mtc. it felt great at first. new oil and springs. also  cut down a bit for better cornering. now it wants to bottom out. no leaks. is this something that needs to be done each year.

they take a bit of the bottom 4 better handeling. faster turn in. the bit that bothers me is i can push them down  and they feel week. i though with my 12 stone weedy fame. i was the weak one. looks like a trip back to mtc 4a check up

They cut them down? surely that has the same effect as dropping the forks through the yokes? just a more permanent way of doing it?

They handle well enough as they are, probably due to months/years of technological testing to get the balance just right for the bike!!  :rolleyes
