Default Re: wooo got some forks!

might be worth at the very least replacing/&upgrading the fork oil. Think about progressive springs too while they're out.

Chompy, didnt you find and advertise some on here for ~£100? Just wondering why you paid £150 on ebay if you had found some others.

I think I got my hagon progressives for £55 from a link on here and don't know how much oil is. You'll need to find a suitable weight oil for your body weight though.

suppose but it'll be a right pain in the **** taking them back out again to do when you knew you've had them out previously. I'd beg borrow or steal as I know I'd never get round to it if I left it. You might be less lazy though!

my brothers a mechanic (bike) so he can do it for me, plus we have a lifting thing in the garage for the bikes , its the metal hooks attached to the ceiling for the punch bag but we hook the bikes on it to do work to the front end if we need to. should be ok, my brother can do it for em passing out in the RAF
