Converting a Flick to a Jumper

I'm looking to convert my 2004 Flick to a Jumper. I've already tried preloading the spring and reducing the travel that way, but the result is harsh and poorly damped. In order to properly reduce the travel apparently I'd need three things:

1 - a new shorter jumper spring

2 - a new compression rod

3 - a new top cap

How much in either US or Canadian funds will I be looking at paying for all this? None of the shops here have updated catalogues containg this info. I guess I'm wondering whether it'll be cheaper to upgrade or simply sell and buy a Satic (509CAN).

Thanks,

graeme

You'll need to call Answer customer service. They were very helpful with me. However, they did need a shop to order the parts for me...then again, mine was warranty service. If you're buying the parts, they might send them directly to you.

I couldn't get them to send me parts. RS never would either. Marzocchi used to, but will not now.
