Starting to do some research into forks. Looks like Suntour make 2 springs for this fork; a hard spring and a soft spring. I have no idea what’s inside this one though, could even be a medium?! The only way I can get my hands on the soft spring is to order it from their USA web site, or pay a lot more for it via an eBay seller in Italy.
I’ve also been looking at second hand forks, as well as whatever’s on special out there. A top used fork is going to cost me around $700-800, or on sale new for around $1000-$1500. If I was going to buy new I’m tempted to get a 170 Fox 38 for the Amflow and put the 160 Fox 36 Factory from the Amflow on the Torrent, or I could even go down in travel to a 140 fork for the Torrent. Geo wouldn’t change by much at all whether I go up 10mm to 160, or down 10mm to 140.
Ah fuck it, just ride it more, see how I go. One thing I have ordered though are some grippier pedals. Super keen to get out there on the new pedals and tubeless set-up next week!
