Firstly, thanks to Chris (lajracing) for his help with oil volumes and other stuff

I've just finished stripping the forks to change the springs and the oil and i couldn't believe how much the standard springs have compressed over time! The picture isn't great but the old springs are over an inch shorter than new ones



I was going to fit some progressive springs but the previous owner gave me a set of new standard springs so to save a bit of cash i decided to use them. Chris advised a change to 500ml of 15wt oil and i must say it certainly 'feels' better but i've not had a chance to go for a ride yet so only time will tell.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has yet to give their forks a service.

Nick.
