hagon fork springs

Post by radman » Sat Jun 01, 2013 8:40 pm

can anyone help me please, I have fitted hagon fork springs, my problem is when I am riding it feels as though the forks on rebound seem to bang on the return, almost as if the rebound springs are not doing their job. I have backed off all the preload and turned the damping up to the max, has anyone else had the same problem, and could anyone please give me some advice, thanks dave

Try 15w fork oil, it will give you more compression and rebound damping.

Adjusting the preload only adjusts the ride height (sag) - as the man says, a little light reading will be your friend :D
