how do thoes forks feel? nice bike

 

[treksubaru]

the forks are solid how ever bing out when ever i practice manuals or launch hard. any suggestions.

 

[Renegade]

Do they have air preload adjust. Pump them up.. that would stop them being so soft.

nah he means they top out, i think. Just sping the rebound knob down the bottom of the fork to slower, this will stop the top out.
