If you are not satisfied with your Manitou SPV fork you
can accomplish this modification quite simply, and its reversible, not too
mention you might just find your modified fork performs a little better as
low speed bump compliance improves.
SPV and propedal platforms are designed specifically to
inhibit rider induced movement produced from pedalling, as explained
elsewhere one way check valves have been introduced to what once was a
fixed orifice that allowed oil flow to either side of the damping piston
at low speed, now greater resistants is present and oil flow is ether
forced through a stable platform valve or routed through a shimmed piston
where normally high speed and big hit flow is controlled.
Personally I feel the situation is divide two ways, some
bike riders like a supple, active suspension others prefer the firm low
speed ride, this modification is simple, and gives you opportunity to try
variations yourself. |
