WHY CHANGE FROM AIR TO COIL SPRING?
Monday, 14 December 2009 11:11
When you go to choose you new fork or MTB generally the for will either be coil or air sprung, the latter being the more common, this is usually due to the ease of setting up for a vast range of rider weights, adjusting air pressure is quick and simple.
If you are a relative newcommer to MTB this is as far as your thinking will go, the apparent ease of adjustment give you a degree of control over the type of feel you a looking for and there is a small weight saving over a coil fork but there are some parameters you may be over looking.

In September 2007 I shattered my left femur at the last round of the season on a dodgy triple at Hamsterly forest, booh, four operations later it is at last the the same length and pointing in the right direction, yehee, though quite sore at the moment and needing a shit load of physio I hope to cap some unfinished business on the BMX track and 4x track, my gates will be stronger than ever see you at the races.

I hope you like the new look site and our new logo, that had to change, I walked into a supermarket in Slovenia and the same font was used on the cold meat counter. Enough is enough! Thanks to Tony ST Seagrave for putting up with my endless requests and the new logo that he drew freehand.
