Hi,

Sometimes take my big bike to ride the local jumps, if I switch the CTD on the 34's up front and the shock to C, and harden them up for the jumps will I risk damaging any of the internals?

Thanks

You are putting a lot more stress on the damping cartridge seals by doing this. Whether that will affect the reliability of your fork in the long term is difficult to say. It certainly won't improve longevity.

Would a better approach not be to stiffen the fork by increasing the spring rate?

Thanks, I shan't do it!!

It is an air fork so I could harden up but just a quick fix thought
