no prob and to get the fork that low did you cut the spring or something and have you heard any clanking noises because mine have been a 55mm

flag billybigwheels (Oct 31, 2008 at 14:41)
yeah only a little bit,just took the top of the spring didnt want to cut it to much as i want them pritty hard.yeah i did but those forks do it,its the spring hiting the inside of the stantion easy way to sort it is to,get an racing bike innertube something like a 700c presta,and cut it to the length of ur spring,put it over the spring stops them bashing agaisnt each other.make sure u use a 700c tube as they are nice and tight on the spring and dont slide off inside the fork.hope that helps.

yeah thats what i used orinaly,then just got a pair of old bars and cut the end off ad used that as a spacer.also if there topping out,thuding slighlty as they come up that can be due to the spring being to long fot the amount lowered them,just trim it down a little.no worries buddy
