time for new fork springs: what to buy???
My bike has spent much of its life strapped at the track aor strapped on the trailor going to the track and now the springs seem VERY weak.
My "not-so-elegant-but-still-on 2-wheels" landing from a 12 o'clock wheelie last sun just reminded me its prolly time to change out the fork springs, & valves???
Any suggestions as to what to buy????

RaceTech seems to be a good company, and can help you find the exact spring you need for your application. About $100 for springs I think.

One of the things I have been impressed with about race techs stuff is the quality and precission. If you look up their spring rates you will find their tolerances to very tight compared to other companies. I would highly reccomend Race Tech.

I ordered springs and compression valves today from Cari at Race Tech. I wonder if Cari is even 1/2 as cute as her voice????? We can only guess...

For the longest time Traxxion refered their customers to Race Tech's web site for technical info, spring rates and valve stacks. MOst all of the suspension guys out there can trace their roots back to Race Tech whether they would like to admit it or not!
