Re: Ktec Front Fork Springs 0.8

Re: Ktec Front Fork Springs 0.8
I'd like to say yes....but no. Think you'll need heavier springs.

Re: Ktec Front Fork Springs 0.8
maybe it's worth detailing which version they fit (both pointy and curvy?) and what weight they would be ideal for.
the KTec site lacks any information like this. |

Re: Ktec Front Fork Springs 0.8
Thanks for the advice fozzy, I did make mention that they have been taken from a curvy.I am led to believe they would fit a pointy but don't have confirmation of that, hence why I didn't mention pointy. I am also unsure of the ideal weight, all I know is they are too soft for 15st.
The stock springs in the bike are the equivalent of 0.72 which was designed for the optimum sv rider of 9stone. |

Re: Ktec Front Fork Springs 0.8
Just a bit of help maybe, I have ktech 0.85 in my curvey. I'm 12st and they are about right for me. I'd suggest 0.8 will be ideal for 10-11st, OK for 12st but I reckon that's about the limit really. Having said that they'll be better than the stock ones for almost any rider weight. HTH

Re: Ktec Front Fork Springs 0.8
Be an improvement for any rider, especially at that price.
They should fit pointy or curvy just use different spacer tube.

Re: Ktec Front Fork Springs 0.8
I can't see any issues with everyday use, better front end feel. They came out of a 2000 curvy so the spacers and springs should fit straight in
