[#2951203]

My G/F has a Spesh Myka FSR '08 model fitted with the RS Tora 302 'femme' model fork.
She's having trouble with obtaining a decent amount of travel out of it and we were wondering if there is an even lighter weight spring available than the one fitted.

Ideally we would go down the new fork route but cash is tight.

TF Tuned also stock spare aprings. Need to check and make sure that you don't already have the soft spring in though. Seem to remember TF have instructions for changing/checking on their website.

As it's the 'Femme' model i rather suspect its already got a soft spring in it ๐Ÿ™
She's only getting about 40mm of travel and it's hindering her riding/confidence.

Suspect you are right, in which case air fork is probably the way to go and as you say, that will cost.

Might be worth giving TFTuned a ring and see if they have any suggestions regarding the Tora.
