@26erchronicles77 I only have one ride on it, I want to try a few different springs,to see if I want it softer. But, it was smoother,than no suspension.
@@myboringadventures How is it going on for yours? Initially had used the blue spring. It functions well in terms of reducing handlebars jarring. However, I was annoyed by the knocking sound, and the loss of some steering control. After a number of experiments, I came to this solution as the best for me: - cover the red spring with heat-shrink tube, overlapping the springs top and bottom, coat it with grease - insert two rubber washers directly under the top hex key mounting plate and tighten only halfway to reduce pre-tension - lower the handlebars 2 - 3 cm to put more weight onto the front This reduced the knocking by 80% under maintaining full handlebar control and relevant jarring reduction. This product is a winner for its price, but best would be some silicon dampener at the deflection end.
@@krollpeter I've only had once chance to ride,since the installation. Work life, and health, and all. Thanks for the tips,on improving. I will definitely have to experiment.
Always fun opening a new toy no matter what age! Guessing you'll be hitting the Bartram trail to test it out. Have fun sir.
Definitely need to test on a trail. Thanks for checking this out.
@@myboringadventuresMy pleasure 😊
how's the performance? comfort?

Feels Great.. Assist on rebound with my MTB

whichever spring and tension you use it clunks on rebound .... very annoying
You just need rubber dampers for the metal to metal contacts but very good for gravel setups
@@iPtrckwhere to put the rubber, do i have to disassemble it?
@@Bartosz-m3dI'm not getting clunks on mine but you can just put silicon washers at the end of the springs. I'm loving mine on my cheap gravel bike
@@lamb212 Will try, thanks it is winter in Poland right now, it is cold so i don't really ride a bike a lot, but when it is warmer i will try😊
