32mm ceriani fork springs

[brian kirby]

I would spend the $325 on gas for practicing and I would forget about the forks. The 32mm forks on my Berkshire are stone stock, original springs, no Emulators, all I did was put seals in them. Are they perfect? No, but they are good enough. If you want to make your bike perform better, especially a Sachs 100/125, get in shape, ride a lot, leave the gas on longer and stay off the brakes deeper into corners. I know at least in my case, the rider is always the component that needs the most improvement.

+1 Brian.

Learning to be a better rider and improved fitness are the game changers.  In fact I'm healing up now from my second torn rotator cuff in 3 years (different shoulder).  If I had leaned to ride just a wee-bit smarter I could have avoided months of downtime.

Brian, Wfopete,

About riding,,, absolutely riding more and getting into shape before a race and in between is most of it.  In fact, for 2-3 weeks before the ISDTRR, I jogged up hill (and down)on my land, did push-ups, hand grip-squeeze exercises as well as rode with the local KTMs guys on their loops to get into shape.  I still know that my springs are a inch flat and one inch goes along way on a 7" travel fork.  Ok, next year's project as the season closes down.  Cheers.
