Suspension is a very personal thing, just cos one person likes it one way doesn't mean another will like it the same way, if that was the case all bikes would come perfectly set up for everyone

Maxton also do a full cartridge cpnversion for around £350

Is that for the hole job inc new springs seals oil and labour?

I guess if a person can ride a bike to say 80% of it's limit then by having a bike that's limits are higher you will go quicker because of it even tho you can't rech the limits.

On a hornet track bike I had I had a cartridge conversion done and the diffreence was amazing. I can only assume this will also be the same ?

I would like to try it tho before and for this reason I won't be having mine done, I can however understand the basics....

Eric yeh I think that was the whole lot

Geoff's style was very smooth and he didn't really brake that hard (how the f*** does he do it ...) so I doubt he'd really tax the suspension a lot and could afford to run something a little softer? I realise there's more to it than that ..

I ended up with quite heavy springs in the forks because I'm a FB, I brake quite hard and late, and I'm not smooth enough moving around the bike. It worked for me and helped me get the best out of the bike.

fil2 - mate you're quite smooth on the bike as well so I can imagine that you may not necessarily get the same benefit out of that investment.

It's not apples with apples though.

Suspension is the one thing we can change so I'm surprised people are finding it difficult to understand, sorted suspension will get you more time than any exhaust/dynoet and set up yet everyone has that done ?
Priorities wrong maybe ?

ok...but i still dont understand what it actually does.?
