those forks are just fine man.


if you start track riding and chasing times, then yes you can upgrade then. untill you get somewhere like a race track and learn how each setting makes your bike handle different, then figure out what your bike needs more of for your riding style. all those upgraded 3 speed forks and high speed shocks are just bling bling of a different kind if you don't use them by riding faster.


I have a little bit of a clue what each setting should do on my bike from reading tons of stuff, but can't push my bike hard enough to notice much change a few clicks either way. so for my street pace all that high $ stuff would be as pointless as a apc wing on a civic.


now for my last bike I played with the setting on the same set of coners for a while. but my focus wasn't going faster, it was soaking up a hiddin mid corner bump better and still not feeling sloppy loose. I felt safter thinking my bike would handle the unexpected bump at all the wrong time better.
