[QUOTE="robwbright, post: 1095624, member: 60515"] Phil: I assume the springs are stock as the seller never said otherwise, and he gave me lots of details which turned out to be correct. I'm 145 lbs, so I doubt I'm too heavy for them. MXTech's site is "Page cannot be displayed" at the moment, but I'm sure I've looked at that before and the stock one's were ok for my weight. BTW, I didn't exactly expect to overjump the double - I had hit it 4 times already and landed perfectly on the downslope. I must have hit a higher spot or a kicker or something. Of course I would never intentionally overjump a double nose down. ;) My point in the first post is that the forks now seem DIFFERENT from months ago. Prior to the incident in question, I could count the number of times those forks bottomed harshly on one hand and probably have fingers left over. They feel ok thru the 1st 1/2 of the stroke, but seem to be running through the bottom part of the stroke much easier than before. We added 4 (2 one time and 2 right after testing) clicks of compression. My brother then jumped back on both times and noted that the bike seemed to "stick" a little better, but didn't seem any stiffer thru the bottom part of the stroke. The wrist won't let me do any testing for another 5 weeks. And no, I don't know the actual compression setting at the moment because the forks felt pretty good when I got the bike. Prior to the injury, I had played with moving it 2 clicks from where it was when I bought it, but I never actually went back and counted to see where the clicker is set. [/QUOTE]
