Built this one for my brother the green shock is off my 920 but it's funky with the 2 next to each other 1 green with orange decal shock and 1 orange with green shock.

 

Ps any body with orange Hope hub's looking for red one's let me know. [emoji6]

That looks way better than my black/red frame with neon yellow pedals. [emoji23]

Collected my Spark 940 yesterday.

GELUK !!

 

Daai saal is smal ... jy sal moontlik dit wil verander.

 

Shocks .... jou gewig in psi is n goeie begin punt.  Ek ry rustig, en is nou op gewig "minus 10".

 

Die voor-shock kom met "volume spacers".  Dit maak dit "sporty", en harder op die gewrigte .. perfek vir die manne wat hard jaag .... vir n sagter rit, haal een van die volume spacers uit - https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/178320-scott-spark-940-or-what-else/page-11

Bladsy 11 en 12 ...

 

Jy is meer as welkom om n draai te kom maak, dan help ek jou gou met daai spacer, as jy die roete wil gaan

 

 

Daai twin-lock WERK  :clap:  :clap:  een klik vir die bulte is absoluut PUIK  :thumbup:

Volume spacers should make for a softer ride, not a harder one.

 

The more volume spacers you add the more progressive your fork is, allowing you to add less air pressure, giving you better small bump sensitivity all while ramping up towards the end of the stroke to avoid bottoming out.

 

Less volume spacers means more linear travel, which means that at the same pressure as a fork with more volume spacers you will bottom out easier, meaning you will have to run more psi - translating to worse small bump sensitivity meaning it will be harsher on the wrist.

Thanks Chris, took the bike for a shakedown today. Impressed with the bike, need to find the sweet spot with the front fork. Pressure too high presently, will work on that this week.

Went through this excercise with my 940 as you can see from the link Chris posted. The fork come with the maximum number of volume spacers installed. With the correct sag it was too progressive and harsh on the wrists whilst leaving too much travel untapped. One less spacer, 10PSI more pressure and it is butter smooth

So I'm assuming too hard on the wrists with big hits then, not small bump? I understood small bump harshness from the post - obviously wrongly so.
