Silverbird2 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I am getting ready to send my front forks off to Dan Kyle to be reworked. I have been reading a lot of the old suspension post but still know relatively little about the inner workings. I am not looking for an explanation but would however like to know what i should be asking him and what i should be telling him i want. He is wanting to put in Ohlins springs and that is about all i know at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell him your weight, planned use of the bike (sport riding, touring, combo, ect...) and an honest assessment of your skill level- as in how hard you'll be pushing it. IIRC correctly, you're the guy who walked around the outside of me at OzarXX last year like I was standing still, so I'd say go with "aggressive". Questions you should ask him- anything you want to know. You're paying him and he knows considerably more about suspension than anyone here.
