[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 98477, member: 161"] I lift up the front of the bike so that there is no load on the front wheel and then put a tie wrap on the fork tube. On the Girdraulics you can lift the front and put the tie wrap around the lower fork tube butted up to the top fork tube. When you've carefully sat on it you can lift the front again and measure from the bottom of the top tube to the tie wrap. Not sure what your total travel will be. It is easier to measure when you have the springs out. (You probably don't want to do that again just yet.;)) Can't tell you how my setup works as it is not fitted yet. I got too involved with other projects.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
