Re: K-Tech fork cartridges
Matris do a cartridge kit for under 400 on carpimoto, fully adjustable with springs. I had a set ordered but bottled it last minute and bought some gold valves.
Just to add I bought some gold valves and one was defective, cnc had botched it. Race tech have zero customer service, ignored my emails completely!! |

Re: K-Tech fork cartridges
Should have bought the chinese ones!
The under £400 kit from matris is nothing like a cartridge, they are just an overpriced emulator with a complicated cap and spacer. Their cartridge kit is £600 or so and not minitwin legal since they add adjustment and do not retain standard cap.

Re: K-Tech fork cartridges
The cartridge kit from Matris on carpimoto is under £400.. Was £380 when I had one ordered. That is full cartridge with rebound on one comp on other. As you say not minitwin legal. No fork mods needed, uses factory top out spring.
The fancy emulator kit is £240 and comes with springs, a decent emulator, spacers and preload caps. Again no fork mods needed. You can look on carpimoto and see for yourself, much rather had kept my order for the cartridge kit after my experience of racetech. I should be asking matris for a review set after writing all that out !! |

Re: K-Tech fork cartridges
i could be wrong here but i'm sure you have to take the check valves out the bottom of the stanchions when fitting cartridge kits. otherwise thats a good price for a drop in kit and if i had a standard front end i would be seriously looking at getting a kit.

Re: K-Tech fork cartridges
Not sure if it is the right threat to ask but since it is related with the suspension, I will give a try. Found these ones in ebay. Are they any good? Will I find somebody to install and adjust them and if yes with what cost more or less.
(I understand that JHS in Bristol is one of the best places for suspension tuning and I am going to ask for a price quote as well, but I thought to ask the forum in advance) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1415119659...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |

remember to give them your weight when you order so they can put the correct springs on for you. |

Re: K-Tech fork cartridges
Possibly not with those carpimotor ones, see the bottom of the cartridge (what would be comp valve holder on a normal fork) appears to be necked down by the length of normal damper rod.
