[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 73963, member: 16552"] [b]Shims on bottom of springs[/b] The stock washers do tend to fit badly once removed from the stock springs. Reattaching them by bending the tabs around the new springs seems to work just fine. Once you get to the point of actually installing the spring, put it in with one motion and leave it there. I've had one of my washers fall off even after I was sure it was securely attached when I moved the spring around. I thought, 'What can the washer do but center itself on the spring when I put the spring back in?'. I found out that it DOESN'T center itself. It MUST be attached to the spring (and STAY there during the install process) in order to be installed correctly. As to whether they are required or not? I'd not want a piece of spring steel rubbing on MY aluminum forks. The time saved (and the process more correctly completed) by taking the forks OUT of the clamps to do a fork service makes it worth whatever trouble it is over leaving the forks in the bike. 130mm? What happened to the 100mm idea? When did that change? Is that new for 2001? Yes, it's a matter of preference..but I thought the STARTING point was 100mm?? [/QUOTE]
