forks bottoming out - help

yep, thet'll be the first go, get the sag right. Then see how it goes from there. Trying to see how good I can get it before I spend money...as cash on mods means less cash on fuel!

yeah sorry me old mate.

Thing is though, when you're transferring a lot of weight through heavy braking, to stop the forks meeting the stops you'd have to firm up the springs/preload. Then this would have an adverse effect on the damping over bumps.
Not sure you can have it both ways so i reckon leave the springs in and firm up the preload a bit, and don't brake so much... braking only slows you down anyway!
