SOLD
Up for consideration I have a set of Progressive Fork Springs.
Reason for sale: I weigh maybe 160 lbs. on a real heavy day and never have a passenger and I just couldn't find a happy medium with the springs (stiffness) no matter how much I shortened the PVC spacers that came with the springs in an effort to reduce preload.
The good - They are brand new with about 200 miles on them while I test rode to check stiffness.
The bad - I cut the PVC spacers that came with the springs down 1/4" at a time while I was test riding in between cuts and now the PVC spacers are 8" long which gives 1/2" of preload before the threads on the fork caps engage the threads of the fork leg.
The good - A 10' section of PVC pipe only cost about $2 at Lowes or Home Depot and you can cut them to any length you want for preload (and the 8" sections from the original pieces will also be in the box).
$40 + shipping + paypal fees (if paypal is used)
Thanks,
John
