| Kev you are most likely right. and I stand corrected. I don't know where or from who that I heard it. Might even have read it in a very informative weekly rag. I've always believed it since then and when someone wanted to replace their showa springs for Ohlins, that was the reason. I remember last year at the DSC t/d at mallory. We wher comparing the different fork action on Showa and Ohlins. Showa forks always had more travel with the same degree compression, where the Ohlins tended to have less travel and the further the travel the harder it was to compress them |
