Nice lookin' bike. Now young skywalker you must build it up.
Have you played with the springs/oil weight?Originally posted by Castle
nope I've only seen your DHR that's it and it's RED!
I'm pretty sure the Sherman is comin off the bike though,
it's far too linear for me, the fork can be set up to be small bump compliant or big hit resistant (either or, not both), there really isn't a happy medium at all..... the fork either bottoms harshly or doesn't take small hits at all......
the rebound adjustment does not dampen the fork enough either, it still feels like a pogo stick w/ the rebound adjusted as much as possible..
I feel if I were sub 200lbs that this fork would be very tuneable... and work out just fine for me...... but that's not the case
back to a zocchi I go...
Ummm, yah, you definitely need to do that. It makes a big differance for me. This should solve your problem.Originally posted by Castle
I just turned my progressino adjuster up as far as it'll go I'll give it a go like it is..... see how this works out.....

Or you could sell me the Sherman and run back to your Z1 you 'zocchi head.
Seriously though, I call first dibs on the Sherman if it goes up on the block. I'd rather have black lowers but c'est la vie right.
You gonna actually make it to nationals this year?
