Hi,
Managed to get a great deal on some 40's off a friend recently, and the first couple of rides on them have been brilliant so far. Having come from a 2010 boxxer race I can't believe how much more grip these things give. Having said that, I'm having a spring weight issue: while the sag is spot on, I can get close to bottoming it in the car park, even with fair amounts of lsc and hsc. But despite this, it feels awesome - both grippy and very responsive to rider input i.e. when I'm hopping stuff. It's a blue spring in there at the moment and I weigh about 190 lbs, so while I'm aware I should technically be on a green spring, how bad will it be for the fork if I run it like this?
