suspension forks adjustment
Hi
I have nearly finished building a swb recumbent based on a 20" wheel mtb. This was to suit a child about 8 years old, the front forks are a little soft (probably made to suit a childs weight) is there any way to stiffen them up a bit by stripping them down and replacing or packing the springs. thanks Gary |

You might also see if the mfr has a web site with some technical info and a spring kit. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

suspension forks adjustment
Hi
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it just appears to be a cheap run of the mill suspension fork. I will have to get a long socket extension bar to split them and have a look. later Gary "oldslowbenter" no@publicemailaccepted wrote in message ... "geepeetee" wrote in message ...
