RM forks on KDX
Yeah, yeah...got this old KDX and now I've determined that it has a RM front end. The RM forks measure about 1 1/2" longer (top of tube to axle centerline) than the original forks. I checked another guys bike last weekend. Even raising the forks in the clamps the maximum amount it's still 1" too long up front.
Question: These old forks have a lot of preload, can I reduce the preload to a mm or two to get the front end to settle a bit? The front now has a tendency to push, but it is stable! Is there a better way to get the proper attitude back?
