Which Tyres?

[michael]

Never ben a big fan of lowering links, they drastically change geometery. But setup your sag,from memory between 90 and 120 mm rider sag and then you can figure out if you need a different spring by subtracting static sag. I'm up north so I can't double check the measurements and differences in the book. I'm sure someone knows of by heart.
changes as little as 2mm make a difference when talking fork height.

I might have to take it to Marty Moose and see if he can set it up. Thanks for the help

+1 for Michelin S12's. Thats what I'm running atm and know lot of guys that swear by them.

or you could go the M12's (medium compound)

Bridgestone M403/404, and Metzler MC5 are also good medium compounds. Those pirelli scorpions are good too.

Just remember tho coming into summer if you ride anywhere thats got some hardpack/limestone/gravel it will tear knobs off no matter what tyre you get. Just use a cheapy on the rear. Front should be ok with soft-med compound still.

M12's are very good , i Had them for my last set and they wore very well .............

MX retreads from Mark Bearman in bunno if you are riding sand and mud... cant go wrong.

Marty_Blade is a speed wobble or is the wheel hopping. If hopping it's due to rim lock throwing the wheel out of balance. For faster riding and racing we ballance the fronts.

As far as tyres are concerned for the CRF give the motoz X-Circuit a go on the rear, they last a hell of long time and don't chip or chunk out even on rocks.
