[QUOTE="Robcolo, post: 727704, member: 28062"] What I've found and Most others seem to say is that biggest bang-for-the-buck is stiffer front fork springs. My 220 went from dangerously unrideable to very trustworthy by changing those springs. The front end will still be very harsh - actually more so because of the stiffer spring - RT Gold Valves or a second party revalve is the only cure here - and an absolute must. I went the GV route and have tuned out every bit of that harshness [it took a couple of trys to get it right] Getting someone @ RT on the phone for help is a REAL problem so don't try installing them the day before a big race. Once you've gone through the initial process , though, it's very simple and YOU are in charge. You can re-valve in just over an hour - any time - no need to spend $$ & time packing & shipping & waiting for the "free" re-valve. I was so pleased with the forks that I also got GVs for the rear shock. I bought my GVs from Fredette and found his recommended stack configurations way too stiff for my riding - [I think he configures them for enduros & less rocky terrain] so I went back to the stack recommended on RTs website. If you're mechanically challenged though, have a suspension shop do it. [/QUOTE]
