I put plumbing rubber washer below the screw that locks the chosen coloured spring. That has significantly reduce the clunking when it tops out. Happy now.
@26erchronicles77 I only have one ride on it, I want to try a few different springs,to see if I want it softer. But, it was smoother,than no suspension.
@@myboringadventures How is it going on for yours? Initially had used the blue spring. It functions well in terms of reducing handlebars jarring. However, I was annoyed by the knocking sound, and the loss of some steering control. After a number of experiments, I came to this solution as the best for me: - cover the red spring with heat-shrink tube, overlapping the springs top and bottom, coat it with grease - insert two rubber washers directly under the top hex key mounting plate and tighten only halfway to reduce pre-tension - lower the handlebars 2 - 3 cm to put more weight onto the front This reduced the knocking by 80% under maintaining full handlebar control and relevant jarring reduction. This product is a winner for its price, but best would be some silicon dampener at the deflection end.
@@krollpeter I've only had once chance to ride,since the installation. Work life, and health, and all. Thanks for the tips,on improving. I will definitely have to experiment.
Always fun opening a new toy no matter what age! Guessing you'll be hitting the Bartram trail to test it out. Have fun sir.
Definitely need to test on a trail. Thanks for checking this out.
@@myboringadventuresMy pleasure 😊
whichever spring and tension you use it clunks on rebound .... very annoying
You just need rubber dampers for the metal to metal contacts but very good for gravel setups
@@iPtrckwhere to put the rubber, do i have to disassemble it?
@@Bartosz-m3dI'm not getting clunks on mine but you can just put silicon washers at the end of the springs. I'm loving mine on my cheap gravel bike
@@lamb212 Will try, thanks it is winter in Poland right now, it is cold so i don't really ride a bike a lot, but when it is warmer i will try😊

how's the performance? comfort?

Feels Great.. Assist on rebound with my MTB
