    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Couple of suspension questions...

I know there are a bazillion threads about suspension, but there's so much information that it's hard to get it all put together (and also, I'll be honest, it's one of the things that I just don't know enough about to be able to make sense out of all the information that is out there).

Anyway, here's the deal. I'd like to look into upgrading my suspension. Progressive springs in my forks, and new shock/springs in the rear. I'm a bigger dude (weigh about 260ish). I like a nice, firm, not bouncy ride that is solid around corners.

What components would be best for me?
 
On a budget; then go in this order:

1.) Cut the front springs and add a space5 to stiffen that (try 3-4" or ask Nissem) up new fork oil ($15 for oil; PVC is free).
2.) MDI rear shocks ($85)
3.) Avon Road rider AM26 tires ($160 delivered last I checked)
4.) Next up Front fork Brace ($95)
5.) Next would be to do knock off 35mm cartridge emulators ($90)

Then do the cheap 1/4 throttle mod and you will be flying
