So, having read all the archived posts..........
Just doing the seals on my FE501 02 - blew one big time last week on the local MX track - searches here say anything from 100mm to 150mm. Doc says 115 - 130 so guess 120 is as good a place to start as any.
This is with the springs out I guess ??
Given I do 50% MX practice track & 50% trail & enduro (all at a very basic level) do you think I should go less - say 100 - 110mm ??
I assume less air makes for a harder fork - copes with jumping better - whilst more air is softer for a more comfortable ride over a prolonged period ? or is that over simplifying??
PS Taffy - send us over a set of seals & dust covers please.
