Fork spring replacement/upgrade??

knothead · 07-29-2008, 10:51 PM

I've about killed my fork springs... the sag with me on the bike is close to four inches. The rough riding offroad has caught up with me!
Anyone know of springs from something else that will work? Might be time to start some boneyard hunting for new forks! <sigh>

The upshot is I can give everyone else some advice; Go slow off road! I tend to hammer down over almost everything. The last few times up in the mountains I noticed that I was bottoming the forks more than usual...

I noticed that the older xrs have the same "appearance" around the triple clamps "how there is a necked down fork comming into the triple clamp," there is a chance you might be able to get yourself some xr forks and call it good.

wait wait!!! here these will hold up to anything but a train wreck!!! maby they will fit
