| Okay, education time for me. Can you explain the differences - or at least point me to a good resource to read - about spring, dampers, etc?

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? Ray

| 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. :>
