    Have any of you used the Progressive Suspension Front Fork Springs from Old Bike Barn? My forks need some attetion and won't hold air and bottom out. Will these springs take care of that?
    Thanks

    Maybthey would, but only after you have disassemble yer Forks resealed them and replaced the fork oil.
    Likely IF you did that (and you should) then your suspenders would not easily bottom out using 'just' the factory springs :)

    I've got the Progressives, and they're definately an improvement over stock!
    Now - resealing the forks and replacing the fork oil on the stock springs with the correct amount and possibly heavier wieght oil should take care of the bottoming, this is true. But the Progressive's are a performance upgrade, and well worth the money in my book.
