Changes
I’m very close to making the change over to the Specialized carbon Endruo Chris Wyatt is letting me borrow. Cane Creek is finishing the shock this week and I have all the rest of the parts ready to swap over. Its going to be quite different from my single pivot Mbuzi, but I’m looking forward to the change.
I now have 20 hrs on my KTM 250sx. When I first got it it turned like magic. However it was way too stiff over the rough stuff. Now it is very plush over the rough but dives like crazy in the turns. It an effort to get back to baseline I dropped the tubes off at Dave’s to have the Motorex oil changed to Maxima. Dave swears the Motorex is crap and wears out too fast. Based on my experience with these forks, I agree. Furthermore I am having 46 springs installed. Stock is 44 and its way too soft for me. Hopefully this will keep me up in the turns. If I can get the bike back to turning like magic, then, I’ll tackle the plushness. Either with a new set of tubes valved for the woods or a slight revalve.
