could you add a spacer to reduce the travel to 80mm? Might pull the angles back in line a bit and save Brant from sending the hit man out to pick you off this weekend.

soon as i jump on it they drop down a bit

i had intended to drop them to 60mm (they are 80 atm)- but i havnt got time before the weekend.

as someone said in my last thread about this - give it ago. but tbh they are 480mm long id like to drop them for sure.

might pikey lower them ..... let the air out then pump up the -ve chamber first.

Clearly the editor of MBR liked the combo of the TD:1 and Rebas!

They have an article on 10UTB in the Summer issue of MBR (just on sale) with a smashing photo of you in action Terry. See page 103!

Eg i saw that

How ever i did not like the combo and have binned it infavour of some cheapy taiwaneze niner lookylikeys (hylix) in the 450 mm variety

Transformed the bike over stupid flexy twisty rc31s

Bike is so much more confidence inspiring and i feel i can commit to the speeds im doing as the front wheel does what the handle bArs tell it to !
