[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 141834, member: 456"] Thanks for posting that Tim and Ben. I know you have had 36, 33 and 30 lbs/inch springs from me but am not sure which you are currently using in the twin. Normally I would recomend 36s for a road equipped twin with a medium weight rider so although I don't know Ben's weight I would have thought that the 33s were as light as one would want to go, I know that Greg favours 45 lbs/inch springs for road bikes, even for Comets if I have that correct, but road users over here have found that too stiff unless they are over, say18 stones/252 lbs/114kg. Let us know what failed. Just noticed that for Greg's information the damper is an AVO and it looks to me as though a touch more damping might help. They are easily adjustable. [/QUOTE]
