Front fork springs.

[kebab19]

Happycallis: Your new springs look slightly shorter than standard, but not enough to make a huge difference - you could cancel it out via adjusting the preload on the fork caps.

I was out today and found my revised fork setup adequate / bearable. To summarise:

• Wearing the gear, about 13 stones.
  
• Preload mimimum / 5 rings showing.
  
• Compression - 18 clicks out from maximum.
  
• Rebound - 4 clicks out from maximium.
  
• Internal hollow metal spacers shortened by 10mm
  
• Oil height - reduced to 150mm from top (standard 140)
  
• 0.85kg K-Tech springs
  
• 10w Granville fork oil
  

With some reasonably heavy braking, the cable tie round one fork leg is indicating 122mm of travel, leaving some in reserve. Bumps are no longer quite as harsh through my hands, so I guess I can live with this setup for now.  Will probably still look into getting the forks revalved or swapped over when she's off the road in the depths of winter.
