Billy said:Hi Drew, I'm in the process of servicing my front end at this time. In my own opinion, if you want to be certain about getting all the crud out, you should take the forks apart. My sliders had about a teaspoon of nearly solid crud in the bottom. Also, I'm installing sonics on my front end, so I'll take some measurements of the springs I've got so you can compare. The spacer length you've got is the same as mine (7 1/8"). My spring rate is 1.2kg/mm. I chose that spring rate because I'm about 230 lbs and can be an aggressive rider when the wife isn't on the back.
Cheers , Bill.
I know this one is old but I’m about to install sonic 1.1 and I weight about 225. Considered the 1.2 but thought they would be too firm. What say you? We are about the same weight. Do you tour and carry extra weight and does that make it feel different / better?
Thanks Paul.
