Just thought I'd let you know there's a bit in the Pink Bike Podcast episode 103 about running coil shocks in bikes that aren't designed for them, but in a nutshell he's saying that the frame can flex so much it causes the coil shock to distort and ruins internals. Might not be applicable but something to bear in mind. It's also an interesting one.
I’ll definitely report back.
On the first ride, I felt a bit unsettled but I think I just needed to slow the rebound damping. I then crashed hard which cut the ride short.
I think I just had such a romantic memory of coil forks back in the day.
The weather is set to be absolutely honking tomorrow at inners so I’ll soon find out how much more grip I get.
