Hi all,
I just got a set of fork carts installed which I got 2nd hand (mupos) however I think the spring may be to stiff for my weight. I'm only around 66kg and currently have preload all the way out. I've set rebound and compression to what feels good however my forks dont seem to be using all the travel, with a zip tie after 4 days of fast paced road riding im still left with over 30mm of unused travel.
I've also roughly measured my sag, by lifting the front up (point A) and then sitting on the bike (point B) then just A-B giving me 20mm. I know there is more to this then these 2 measurements did not bother as 20mm seems very off to start with.
I just want to confirm before doing anything that I do infact have a spring to stiff for my weight? Should I opt for a lighter spring racetech calculator puts me at
0.91 kg/mm for street and 0.96 kg/mm for road racing. I have no idea what the current springs are. :dontknow:
