I've always hankered after riding that Offroad just to see what it's like. You just don't see them over here in the UK :(

It's pretty cool. The flexstem is simple but effective. It The Girvin engineers got Serotta to fashion a unified strut swingarm using reworked Serotta fork legs.

This was the origination of the suspension configuration that Proflex carried through the years.

Sounds like a fine time to switch to coil springs. Why would anyone want to use MCUs if any other option exists? They're so temperamental. Coil springs work in all weather conditions and never need to be boiled or greased to make them work right.

So, if Callum is out, Where might I aquire a spring for my 856?
