Les gave me the pre-re-valve call today.

He's going to move me up one tick in springs front and rear. He discussed the problems with the '05 Zoke forks that he would address (free bleed in the rebound and some mid-valve issues). The Ohlin shock was going to get some rebound work as well as some attention to compression valving.

They'll be in the mail tomorrow barring any mishaps.

He also said that although my fork tubes were okay, he has found that many Zoke owners crank down those three screws on the lower clamps. He said that was he does is to tighten the middle screw to 8 foot-pounds and then to take the lateral screws to just above hand-tight (or else you'll be chasing the torque as you tighten one side then tighten the other then re-tighten the other, rinse and repeat). The upper clamps are good at 10, 12, 14, whatever.

Rick
