[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1007937, member: 3828"] I'm still not getting it. When there is no spring in the fork leg, raising and lowering one of the inner fork tubes should have no effect on the lower fork tubes at all, except at their travel limits. Having a height difference in these parts [I]will[/I] have an effect once the springs are installed as one spring will have greater dynamic load and will try to twist the axle at the bottom with that amount of force. But if it works for you... Wait!! I just followed your link. You left out the most important part: By turning the fork leg (it would be the inner leg, not the outer slider) you will be varying the direction any small bend in the leg, which is exactly what you want to do. I still don't understand the raising and lowering of the inner fork leg though. That makes no sense. [/QUOTE]
