Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

slipperymongoose, how much do you want for the .85's? which brand are they? Im 70kg (154lbs) without gear, so the .85's will be on the stiff side, but thats ok, I may put on weight later on ;)

There sonics and come with spacers pre cut though you may have to adjust to suit for your sag.

Lets call it $50 aud plus shipping. Where are you located and ill give you an estimate

I call foul. Well, not really. Sonics come with one long piece of spacer you cut (PVC pipe). You cut to length. Instructions come with the springs. If you need instructions, Sonic has them or I can email you a copy of the instructions that tell you how long to cut the spacers.

slipperymongoose

Cause they have been used addy that's why the spacers are pre cut. Springs have about 9000 km on them

I just have to ask, before taking you up on your offer -

How stiff is the suspension going to be for me with .85s? I am 70kg without gear (154 pounds). Sonic's website suggest .75
So again, how stiff is that spring rating going to be for me?

For me at 170, the 0.85's are great. Go for them. You'll be glad you did.

You have the advantage of adjustable for caps. You WILL need to shorten the spacers to allow for those caps because they are longer.

This shows show I cut the spacers when I switched from the stock caps to adjustable on Phenix. When I did the cutting, I had the adjustable in the middle position so I could go stiffer or softer. Your spacer below the cap may be just big washer. I had these aluminum blocks. Remember spacer suggestions are to the top of the fork for standard fork caps. You can measure them that way then cut shorter to allow for the added length of the adjustable part and whatever spacers/washers you have in there. (Clever - I took this picture knowing it would help someone in the future - when I was putting in the adjustable caps for the first time.)



OrTahor

You just seem to have a pic for every situation!  Very cool of you!  :thumb: :cheers:
I do have just a big washer. But your aluminum block looks extra nice. No "bling factor" when mounted in the forks, but a hell of a lot sexier when taken apart. I might cut some aluminum to length. almost looks like there is a small depression on the aluminum block where the bolt presses on it (lower block). Is that intentional?
