RE: Ohlins shocks ... nightmare!

[<ABSDoug2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<<< If it is defective, Ohlins should stand behind it.  Although
the may be less willing to help when they see you beat on the
adjuster ring with a punch... >>

And if you saw it <shiver>

<<< If the spring rate is too low then the remote doesn't have
enough adjustment range to properly set the sag.  You could move
the adjuster as you were trying to do, but you're sacrificing
travel to compensate for a too soft spring. >>>

Are all roads pointing to a bad spring? Sure sounds like it.
Damn. Well even if it is bad news, knowing is half the game.
Perhaps the spring isn't right.

<<< No, this is a failure by the shock seller. >>>

I got these through Will Kroom. Maybe there was a hitch?

<<< One of the advantages of aftermarket shocks is the ability to
order the proper spring rate for your riding weight and
style, rather than accept the one size fits all spring that is
stock.  The counter is that it is possible to buy a shock with a
worse spring rate for your weight than the stock. >>

	Oy. Thanks again.
