i remember someone (i think boyboy??) tLking about lowering your shermans travel by cutting the springs and using pvc. does anyone have the exact step by step or genral process by which you do this? manitou is currently out of the parts to convert my firefly into a jumper and i desperatly need to drop the travel down.
thanks a ton in advance

I like that users idea of Manitou selling different shaft and spring kits to alter travel. That'd really give them a selling point for the "I want a fork to do everything" market.
