Darrah!!!!!.......cheeky old foccers :grumble
I do ask for it though :\
All ill say is........the following million words................
My bike is the opposite with front springs that are too hard and im not able to use the full potential travel......my brakes feel wooden as a result......i still stop and ok part of it may be my interpretation and the extra weight but it isnt like my 600 used to stop.......fiddling with suspension, when the compression was too low it made the brakes feel even more shit.
Im now running on max compression and have dropped my yokes a crazy amount probably 25-30mm to get more weight on the front which has made it both corner better and make the brakes seem better too......im still not getting full travel......"seems" is always ambiguous.
Im no physicist but i always thought that more transferred weight on the front equaled stronger braking......and having a soft spring would allow more transfer of that weight downwards towards the wheel and tarmac as oppose to having for example absolutely no springs whereby allot of the energy would be transferred forward.....but not so much downward....but that is noggy science which is completely unreliable......because energy always transfers from one form to another so if some is still going forward and some going downwards then surely making more go downwards is a better thing......ok the brakes are taking off forward energy....but surely the suspension is also taking off forward energy....after all suspension isnt friction free....surely the more things taking off energy equals less energy going forward and that means stopping sooner.
Oh foc im confused :o :\ :o :\ :o
:lurk

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
