| question on forks? I have a set of SDG forks, and I was going to swap out the fork oil to 20 weight. And I was going to put in a spacer of 1 inch " PVC pipe". I am 220 pounds and when I jump They bottom out. I cant find any HD springs for the SDGs, dose anybody know where to get some? And is a PVC 1 inch spacer cool? |

| Re: question on forks? By adding the spacer you are only pre-loading the spring which only adds stiffness to the initial stroke. To spring the fork for your weight you will have to source a heavier spring. |

| Re: question on forks? You may have to measure the ID, OD and coil diameter and length and contact a local spring manufacture. Or try Cannon Race Craft, or Minibike springs. |
