I did a 3 hour race yesterday , man I can't wait for my springs and parts from kreft to come .

I guess I'll be busy today

How did this, or did this, work out for you? Did you do springs at the same time as valving?

No huck valves? Nice post. I actually called Jeremy from mxtech the other day to give him kudos on my suspension. I asked him some specific questions regarding differences between his setup and Kreft. He told me that Kreft only has 2 compression settings vs 3 with his and he also said they use the same mid valves. I thought they used different mid valves and identical base valves but turns out the difference is the base valve setups not the mid valves. I learn a bit more everyday.

im just installing them now , and yet i installed new springs too .

i cant really stretch to huck valves at the moment , however reading what terry hay over on ktm talk says about how a good set up will rarely bottom , ill leave them for now .
my main complaint is the harshness .

Let us know how that works. I'm still trying to firm mine up. Without the little blue pill.

The anti bottoming valves that WP installs stock are very feeble and like to hydro-lock. That's the reason most swap them out.

i thought the hydrolock came from the mid valve

I disagree with you there, the bottoming valves are only used in the last 60mm of fork travel. Harshness can be felt right through the stroke.
I thought long and hard for paying extra to get huck valves for my setup and Terry is right, keep out of the bottom section for majority of your riding then the huck valves may as well not be there as they won't be getting used. The new 4CS forks don't even have bottoming cones suggesting WP share the same thoughts, either that or another cost saving exercise....

I also find it hard to believe Adam would only have 2 compression settings, I'm sure he would have a base setting he uses, maybe even two depending on rider ability but he is a talented man and would be able to taylor settings to suit an individual. Poor form to talk down your competition to get work
