just got to wondering ...
I got my Traxion front springs (just the springs for now)
... planning on DIY this week
Question (I'll ask them Monday but thought I'd ask here first in case there is a simple answer) ..
Since the springs raise the bike about an inch,
then, it is recommended to change the fork tubes in the tree about 4/10ths of inch (10mm) in order to try and keep the bike geometry as designed,
... the question is:
how come they just don't make the spring an inch shorter in the first place so it does not raise the bike up?
It seems like they could make a heavier spring without making it taller too but I'm probably wrong about that. ??
many of us don't need the bike raised any higher.
After reading the posts on here I had already disabled the anti-dive shortly after I got the bike ... that did help alot.
thanks in advance,
Dennis
