Take+ 27 Take your Saayman is RIP OFF .. rather try Alfa spring works. normally about 1/4 of price and much better service. I buy from there and courier down, still LOT cheaper. (Automotive stuff, not tried bicycles) Alfa Spring Works cc 011) 900-2238 / 011) 868-4106 011) 900-1508 / 011) 868-1171 086 684 6451alfa1@global.co.za Capewell should be able to assist as well. I dealt with Emile last time, sales manager. Edited November 3, 2017 by Karman de Lange Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane_Bosch Posted November 3, 2017 Share Thanks Droo ill see if i can pop in today, need to get some tubes tooIs that the correct weight spring for you? Just asking. Those Morewood's have a long stroke hence the lighter spring but is 200 right? Edited November 3, 2017 by Duane_Bosch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongooser Posted November 3, 2017 Share Is that the correct weight spring for you? Just asking. Those Maluku's have a long stroke hence the lighter spring but is 200 right?i did some reading and scouring on PB okes who are 70kgs used 250-280lbs on they're makulus. so a 200 should be fine for me. im only 52kgs150lbs will make a big difference for me. pottie told me i should try a 200 aswell although i dont want a perfect 35% sagi like it being a bit more stiff so dont suffer hard bottom outs but this low leverage linkage should stop harsh bottoms since it takes more to compress it....unlike that canyon that was a bit more same feel straight throughout.
