[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1396513, member: 29492"] Fillings are fine; the "hard" setting isn't as harsh as you imagine. Not sure about this, but hard braking with a soft suspension will cause significant fork compression, which changes the front end geometry and affects handling -- and the rebound from deeply compressed forks can cause you to lose your balance. All of those things become incredibly important when braking hard on I-75 at 70 mph during rush hour. [/QUOTE]
