Fork Spring Spacers

[Lukewarm Wilson]

Just got my progressive fork springs and now for the spacer question I know a lot of you use PVC pipe but I have a friend who is willing to machine them up for me the leaflet that came with the springs says 3/4" but does not give the diameter of the spacer and as I dont want to disassemble the forks till I'm ready to change them so can someone tell me the diameter of the spacer should be

I don't know if this helps but I just cut 3/4" off my stock spacer that was in the tubes and it worked great.  You'll love the new feel of the front end with the progressive springs - nice!

I'm in the same boat as Lukewarm.  My springs are in the mail and I want to throw 'em in first chance but I'd love to avoid leaving my new bike torn apart an extra day while I figure out the spacers.  What dimensions PVC fitting do I need again?  Also, saw that post on Pablo's site about instalation "the easy way" but does anybody know a link with similar instructions for the right way?

Hate to bump it back up but does anyone know the diameter of the spacer needed :dunno:

For at least one definite data point, check out Marc Duch's Building & Adding Fork Spacers page here on GStwin.
