They are so tuneable and very smooth.. If you get the 454 air u turn. These have adjustable compression,lockout,floodgate adjustment and rebound. Just incase your not familiar with floodgate it allows you to set how sensitive the fork goes active again. Very good when you forget to come out of lockout going downhill...[:0][B)]For that reason i have it on almost fully sensitive. The Maxel 20mm is as quick as a normal QR IMO

Hamish - have you got the new bike up and running yet? You'll be wanting a mental fork for that beast!<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

All the parts have now arrived. I'll be building it up on Friday and out to play after that (if you fancy a ride on Sat then let me know - I'll be the guy at the back dragging the AM/freeride rig whilst wheezing away).

I have a nice set of Lyrik Coil U-turns 115-160. Are they mental enough? [;)]

Aye, but have you ordered a stronger spring! [;)]

Hamishwmb · June 2007

No. I plan on losing weight instead of just going for mentally strong springs.

(and also riding like a jessie should help)

BTW Stu - how much travel have you used on your Lyriks? I'd think that a skeleton like yourself must have used about 6 or 7 cm for sure [;)]

Enduro 05 with 06 swingarm and DHx Air shock. Just a cheapie I picked up for the Alps. I'll be keeping the stumpy as well - for when you come up to my playground on your DH beasts. I wouldn't want to get to far ahead of you after all, Gordon [;)]

I'm not sure how much travel i've had out them, not had a zip tie on yet, or read the manual even! Certainly have not felt any bumps.

Sorry, could not resist the spring gag.

Pikes are a 'little' more heavy but otherwise better, especially in terms of value.
