100 to 160 shock

After a lot of pressure from Daemon and Thug I got myself a bigger fork (more travel) . Well I actaully went from 100 to a 160mm shock ! After ready in the Ride magazine about dodgy handling with big travel forks I was keen to test this beast out . The trial at Rietvlei was perfect as it had lots of tight fast turn . Handling felt a bit dodgy at the start put got better . But that is something that will sort itself out . But man going over anything higher than a pavemunt and you get airborn ! Awesome why did I wait so long to do this . Anyway this weekend it is onion hill to test the climbing capabilities .

Pressure from Moi ?

 

 

 

All I said was that a Morewood Dirt Rider needs a bigger fork than 100mm to utilise the full potential of the bike.

 

Maybe you now will !!

A friend of mine always says you can NEVER have enough money, travel or length. A true visionary.
