Default Re: Do I need to upgrade my brakes?

One thing that might be worthwhile noting is that you're not going to be able to brake as efficiently as the bike can do with the standard fork springs. Adding uprated springs and heavier oil makes the bike dive much less, which means less of the weight transfer is used in compressing the springs, and more in pushing through the tyre contact patch.

It's possible the the above is rubbish and it only improves the feedback from the front-end, but after changing springs/oil I was able to brake much harder than I had previously
