I am going to order a set of silver springs tonight. I am guessing then that the mod wont hurt if I do it or I dont do it. _________________ peace love and harmony.

Personally I don't have any complaints about my compression so I've left mine stock. _________________ The German says to wait here Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2002 2:36 pm atom Team Hcor.net   Joined: Sep 7, 2002 Posts: 3828 Location: Strong Island, NY Fool wrote: Atom -- you decide on a frame? Well.. I am working out a deal with a person right now to sell my super8. If that goes through I am gonna get a v10. I sat on one at pkill this weekend and it was perfect for me. It felt a little front heavy, but I think that had to do more with the position of the seat and seat angle. For the first time in my life a seat was actually too low!!!! I think the v10 will make a much better and faster rider. With a lighter more agile bike I will be able to bitch it around alot better and really hammer in the turns. If I dont sell my super8 though I really dont care b/c I still love that bike. Im actually scared that if I get a new bike Im not gonna like it at much. Then Ill really be pissed. _________________ peace love and harmony.

After working at a bike store for almost 4 years, you'd be surprized at what people will believe. Alot of times people would bring in nice mountain bikes for tune ups with absolutly nothing wrong with the bike. We would completely clean the bike, maybe repack a bearing, *maybe* even oil the chain if they needed. when the customer picks up the bike they would swear it worked 100 times better. I'm not saying you do this acadian, you're probably one of the most skilled riders on here so you know best. I'm just saying in general most people are pretty easy to influence in this way.

Anyone want some stock 6" springs? _________________ "I don't give a damn about my reputation" Posted: Tue Sep 10, 2002 9:24 pm
