i let fredette gold valve and change my fork springs to .38's for 250.00 out the door.for the money,i cannot complain.i wanted improvement over larger obstacles and better control in high speed sections without sacrificing any low speed driveabilty.i think everyone agrees that this bike shines in lower speed tight gnarly stuff even with stock suspension.that is primarily what and where i ride.being realistic about this,i wasn't promised the stars and the moon,and based on my riding and fredette's riding and experience,i went with his services.if i want more,i will be getting a different bike altogether.and i believe the front forks are as good as they are going to get.
