Care amici,
There are several folks on here, that have had their bike's forks converted by Maxton with a cartridge system to compression, rebound and pre-load adjustment. Can you pls. clarify one point to me if this is compression AND rebound on BOTH fork legs adjustable or if one side is compression adjustment and the other side rebound while both have compression adjustment?
I am asking because I just got my fork legs back from Hoffmann (www.hh-racetech.de) and his conversion was one side compression, one side rebound (just like the M1R used to work) and I was wondering if this was just related to M1R or a general thing (have asked back, but not an answer yet...) and if maybe Maxton's higher price could be argued by both adjustments on both legs (and if that makes any difference?!?).
The rest seem to be almost the same on both Maxton and Hoffman, they both do throw away all the internals (well - no, they sent them back with the upgraded forks
) and only keep the tubes, while both tubes get a truing and the lower one get's teflon inserts etc.
Oh - and Keith: how is your conversion in that regards, please?
thanks a lot
EDIT: using the search function ( :-[ ) I think I found the answer...: Seams Maxton fits the GP20 cartridge which is compression AND rebound damping on both legs, but rebound only accessible with the front wheel axel out and there is NO preload-adjustment (which does not matter on a bike that you use only on the road alone OR on the race track, but as with my bikes, I use at least the Jota on the track and on the road, which needs different pre-loads...).
Is that correct as stated or is there anything else that should be considered?
