Front fork springs
#1
This is probably a stupid question, but does anyone run a stiffer front fork spring? If so, is it noticeable in an endo? And would you think its a necessary uprade? I need to change my fork seals and bushing, and I am justifying the $100 for new stiffer springs. But don't want too if it's not needed... any feedback on this would be badass...

How much do you weigh? For me at 150 lbs it would be a bad idea to get stiffer springs.

You might try your preload and rebound adjustment's they could give you a weak spring feeling and will change the reaction your bike has to the front brake

Are you running what racetech recommends for your weight or just a little heavier than stock?

you might want to take into consideration who the person is and riding level when taking advise,I know several 700+ rollers who all swear by stock ever thing but pads,fluid,master. Stiffer internals are going to make the float unpredictable.. There are benefits to carving, bouncing, and other short game for stiffer internals but unless your already doing it I dont see any benefit
