odin333 (Oct 26, 2009 at 17:04)

if you were sitting on your bike, the left side stantion typically is the spring side, and the left damping. that is true for the majority of forks but some are different.

tambien el waso re atomico como se va tirar sin tener los bulones de abajo de la horquilla donde esta el negativo eso hace que los barrales no se suban y no puede desir q no se dio cuenta porq te das cuenta al toque la porque si queres levantar la rueda de adelante no la subis las botellas quedan abajo y los barrlaes suben , disculmen me pero hay que ser atomico hoy en dia hay cada uno , entre los q no saben parchar la rueda y estos nose quien es peor
