Forks & Rear shock info from Maxton Engineering
I got this info sheet from Maxton engineering after making an enquiry about fork springs (to have my front end 'Elmered' )
Thought the info might be interesting/of use to some of you Quote:
Fortunately, the springs (only) for what I need are £55 + VAT |

So, including VAT they reckon people will pay over 20% of the cost of the bike (front&back)?!
Not me. £55 sounds a bit more real-world. |

Racers will if they think it'll put them in first... The front fork work seems a good price for what they're doing, full cartrige parts for not much more than emulators... One for the people who want good front forks but don't want to muck about witha fork swap, which is nice.

OK, would you mind explaining what a full cartridge system is? (Clueless ). I presume that this is really only of use to people setting up everything differently for different tracks, is this the case?
From what I've seen, new springs and/or oil will generally do it for most people (on the to-do list). Is this so? What have you done to your front-end? |
