Re: Anyone on here used Penske?
Yep, ive got one. Seems good enough, service is good too by SPA in the UK. Upgradable, ie start at one model and change it at a later date, swap it between some bikes with little mods etc.

Re: Anyone on here used Penske?
Cool. Cant have gone too far wrong... Not too cheap though for the 2 way at nearly £600.

Aye I need the front sorting too. I think ill go for lighter oil and springs and see how that works. Though the front feels ok its not right as I have the preload completly off and only getting 30mm sag 25mm bike and 5 mm me. Which in contrast to the rear shock on atm which is almost full preload!  Ive done a lot of playing with suspension so i should be fine setting this up I think. Quote:
