NC35 fork spring size

Post by spongy.bob » Wed Jan 05, 2011 1:41 am

Hi All,

I'm rebuilding some nc35 forks, and I'm not sure if the spring is the right one. It seems too long as it appears to come too far up the damping rod, and is near impossible to compress enough to re-assemble the top nut etc.

Does anyone know the length of a standard spring? Should it be marked in any way?

Thanks for any help!!

According to the Haynes, the RVF spring should be around 230mm, and the vfr around 275mm

Cool, cheers for that! I only just realised it's in the Haynes. :oops:
