Since you fellers are putting so much time into improving your forks,
meebe you'd be interested in really improving them.

I'm working on a way to fit dampers to Loop drum forks. Might some of
you also be interested?

Hi Ray,

Just the springs, no spacers.

Greg,
I also installed the Wirths on my Eldo but have yet to ride it, so no
impressions. Did you use a preload piece as well or just the springs?

Last weekend I installed new Wirth fork springs and a new set of the
13.25" Ikon shocks (thanks, MG Cycle). Wow, what a difference! The
bike
handles much better with slightly quicker steering and I really
appreciate the additional ground clearance (which I even found
forgiving


of the Dunstalls replicas mounted wide and low when I didn't choose
the
best line through some curves). I'm no suspension expert by any
stretch
of the imagination, but I'm very happy with my upgrades. Originally,
I
had the stock fork springs and a very cheap set of 12.5" shocks on
the
rear (less than $50). Why didn't I make this upgrade long before
now?!?
Now, I just need to find a completely free Saturday that I can go
ride
around and play with all the settings on the Ikon shocks. :>
