New fork springs, recommendations?
 

I`m going to buy new fork springs for my curvy s and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Maxton have quoted me at £80 + vat and then i need oil which they price at £10 + vat. sounds ok to me but are they worth it, good enough or are there others i should look at?

I need to get rid of the space hopper front end lol.

Cheers, Electro.

I'd go with the maxton ones, I don't like progressives.

U remember my forks YC from the AR!! They were progressively shyte lol. I liked the feeling of Irksy`s when i tested them against mine and they were Maxtons but i didnt have much to test against with nmine did i lol. So 17 stone me needs which oil?

Cheers for the info guys.

Maxon or Ktech can't go wrong with either

Ktechs are about £85 delivered from Steve Jordans (with discount).

Oil weight 10 or 15w. I run 10w and have got no issues with it.
Spring rate you want to be looking at 0.95 kg/mm

I will be doing the same shortly after xmas.

I'm 13st (ish) and was thinking 0.85 with 15W oil? (Sorry for the hijack)

Re: New fork springs, recommendations?
 

I'd go for 0.9's as I'm about 13.5 stone and they compress half as much as stock.
