good morning,There were two bikes with “concentrics”, but I didn’t ask either rider about them. One bike had footrests beveled like Peter Volkers’, or is it the other way around?
the bike is mine, used quite a lot on our alpine roads and fairly quick too.
i had troubles with the springs being to stiff for my weigth. just in front if the second stage of the international i fitted the 32 lbs/inch springs from norman as the 36 ones toped out to often. i´m still using my thornton front damper as i found the special avo even in the softest setting to stiff for me. i have not yet tested the 32 springs in combination with the avo damper. i´ve the hydraulic steering damper in use too. the only difference is that i altered the fittings to use needle roller bearings instead of the smal ball bearings.
the handling of the bike is good, a little more comfort to ride compared to my old setup with the thornton and justin mackay-smith´s springs. never experianced a front wobble with this setup.
on quick cornering on rough roadsurface the fork is acting lifelier.
braking has improved as the movement of the fork during braking seems less restrictive now.
