Hagon Progressive fork springs - opinons?
Been looking round the Internet for some progressive folk spring and i was wondering what people think of these http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/...n=0126&pt=0086
also it say 2008 model and i have got a K9 but im pretty sure that they will fit a K9 coz the only changes were cosmetic

Re: Hagon Progressive folk springs
Folk springs? Do they sound like banjos?

Re: Hagon Progressive folk springs
I'm a heavy sod and I've noticed a bit of difference. For starters I don't feel the need to have preload set on max.

Re: Hagon Progressive folk springs
Hagon recommend 10w only. I had 15w in my curvy and it was a bit too much, 10w on the pointy was lovely.
Have heard linear are better but I'm a similar weight to you (honest  : ) and found the hagons to be fine. Couldn't ride the bike without them.

Re: Hagon Progressive folk springs
linear are the same rate all the way down the range of the spring, progressive are progressive in that they have two rates (imagine the spring looser coils moving tighter down the spring)...
... I think... I ain't too smart.
