Forks with most tuners will be around $1k plus $500 for a shock. Springs are extra.Lumberjack99 wrote:Was it expensive , like what’s a ball park price for getting it done ?

Re: Suspension company’s
I love my stock XC suspension even more now. But I'm not able to keep up to Dobi and his fancy suspension.Dobi wrote:Forks with most tuners will be around $1k plus $500 for a shock. Springs are extra.Lumberjack99 wrote:Was it expensive , like what’s a ball park price for getting it done ?

Re: Suspension company’s
I also love my stock XC suspension, but the Beta suspension is a little better I think. Need to get them both out and ride them back to back.

Re: Suspension company’s

Re: Suspension company’s
The Beta has similar suspension setup (Open cartridge) to the XC-W suspension, so very tuneable. You are welcome to try either of my bikes if you see me out at Club ride or on the trails.

Re: Suspension company’s
Went riding last Wednesday on group ride and josh our caption helped me figure out the front forks , I figured after putting them back to standered setting I was to soft , turns out josh saw how much travel I was using and I softened the clickers a few and bam way better , had no idea why I was twitching on everything . So thanks to josh on that one simple fix. A lot better now
