Here's the little sucker that causes forks to jam if bottomed~ 'spindle taper' shown mainly to identify Robbus' mystery spring.
Locates in a groove in plastic body, i'm guessing it's there to stop jammed forks,seemed to rebound damper rod slightly experimenting while had fork in bits.
If so it's not very good at it! As Robbus said, it's a bit thin & weedy.
@ Kebab,I for one am pleased with results with standard springs, won't be due an upgrade spring set just yet thanks.
@ Wezdavo, yes even my owners manual states 120mm travel,
i followed your logic regarding the top out springs but... i'm trying to get my head round how with shorter damper rods i still get the same travel as a boxeye.?
If i could post a drawing i would, but i can't. :\ The two methods of lowering forks i know of are shorter damper rods or spacers under the topout springs~ both would lose you suspension travel.
