Well I've just had new suspension fitted to my Bird, its a Hyperpro 041 and what a difference, no more saggy back end and talk about handle, feels nearly as good as a Blade :}

James at Setup Engineering in Wandsworth did it and I must say I'm very impressed. R#?

Mmmmm...

I've just had a similar result.

Suspension sorted and... hey presto, it feels like a different bike.

Bring on the bends

for the last year i rode with a hypa pro conversion in the front end and hypa pro rear spring unfortunately they were set up for a 16 stone guy, if you're a stick like me at 11 stones, then this was never going to work( although a good inprovement over stock especially with the front end dropped through 5mm and raised at the back. quickens the steering up a treat).
So in two weeks i let you know what a full Ohlins Suspension set up is like
Mick Gardener Racing is suppling an Ohlins rear shock with a remote pre-load adjuster and rebound & compression adj's
and a Ohlins front fork conversion

Oh the Wait i'can't bear it
