|   fork spring help | jerkass
Oct 3, 2001 3:44 PM | | Ok I have a Jr t 01 6". When should I bottom my fork. If I am riding not jumping it only uses 4-4.5". I can ony get it to bottom if I jump off a loading dock 5'. The sag is 30% with 2.5 turns on preload the oil is to min. I am 160, I have progressive medium (145-180) I am thinking of soft (120-155). Am I not suppose to use all the travel? The springs are $80 so that is why I have not jumped into it. |

If you can't get proper sag through preload, then you'll need a different weight spring. After you acheive the proper pre-load you should only be able to bottom on large hits, or drops.
If you still aren't using full travel, try using different oil heights and weights.
Hope this helps,
