Upgrade Front Fork Springs?
Hey!
When I was with Spannerman (whom did a wonderful job btw) he recommended to get some nice new front springs. Are they worth it? Plus who else has them?

Re: Upgrade Front Fork Springs?
What would be the correct weight spring (ohlins) and correct fork oil to use for a 16 stone rider (fully kitted out)?
Also whats a some good fork oils to use? |

Re: Upgrade Front Fork Springs?
wahwah
try this link http://www.racetech.com/page.aspx?id=53&menuid=61 i know theyre racetech not ohlins, but on this site you can calculate the spring weight needed for you, just as an idea like just click on "see what race tech has for your bike" (right hand side above the first pic) choose your bike and fill in accordingly hope this helps |
