Bungi, this is in my opinion only. Ohlins have progressive springs, the further the fork travels the more resistance they encounter. Std springs have the same tension throughout there length. You get far more fork travel with std springs than progressive. Because with progressive springs the first part of the spring has less tension, if thats the right word, than the latter part. You will find that you get a smoother ride with out the problem encountered with a soft set up. I have always liked them they don't rattle my teeth and are stiff enough for a good track set up. |
