Linton is the one you want, I heard he talks to Les at LTR about getting the sachs properly sorted

Spoke with Linton this morning - what a great guy! He is a GasGas nut .

Told me to take my Forks to Norm at Suspension Tech - they are old buddies and he will inform Norm on what changes are required to the valving.

Norm was the other guy I was going to suggest, hes local which helps.

Iv heard Linton can be a bit hard to get away from, but he definitely knows what hes on about.

Thanks - dropping the forks of on Monday - he said I should have them back before next weekend After doing the 100km loop twice at Tussok Buster (back to back), my arms almost fell off! Forks were fine on the fast stuff, but horrible on any rocky sections.

I would say after doing the 100k at tussock buster twice in a row, most peoples arms would fall off. But I know what you mean

On the 2nd loop, I tried my mates 2010 450R (he spend mega $$ on his forks - all Race Tech tuned etc), and the difference was amazing - so plush, but still tracked well at speed etc. BTW, did almost 300km last weekend and the Gasser did not miss one beat. Some deep river crossings, big bogs and MASSIVE hills. Good ride, best one I have done so far. Just a bloody long, sore and tired drive back to West Auckland on Sunday
