Message: [QUOTE="tm-enduro, post: 69786, member: 22157"] Sorry Douglas, I've not tried the update kit, but I can appreciate your desire for properly operating suspension. One of the big benefits to the Ohlins shock is the hard surfacing on the parts. That being said, you might look into ti-nitride surfacing the stanchion (sp?) tubes and having the internals hard surfaced by someone such as Factory Connection. That is what is done to the Ohlins forks and the SXS WP units. Reducing the stiction will go along way to improving fork action. I've noticed decreased small bump sensitivity on my Paoli 46 Blue Steel forks as the finish wears off the piston and other internals. A smooth working fork is much easier to set up. It is my understanding that the ti-nitride surface makes quite a difference (I may upgrade my forks soon). If you can afford it, get the SXS 43 (or 48mm) or the Ohlins , either set is ~$2500). Good luck. ------------------ [/QUOTE]
