Oktober Springfest with Ben and Groomus!

Post by catgroom » Sun Oct 02, 2005 4:39 pm

Well,I posted a few times on those Fintec springs I wasnt quite happy with.Well,as it happened Ben Harris wanted to be able to clear speed humps and to get some comfort back,as was running -40mm PIs.

I had just come off PIs and wanted the handling back as I found the Fintecs not sporty enough for my tastes.Also I found the brakes werent as sharp,naturally.

Looks wise,these springs do seem to follow a slightly different design,as this silly photo Ben couldnt resist taking shows us!

My 480's been in need of a wash for quite while now. I must treat her to one soon (and a new windscreen, too - nice big crack in my current one!).

Here's a closer comparison of the springs: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/b ... fintec.jpg

Steve really really wants to be like ZEBEDEE of The Magic Roundabout. Not sure if one blue and one red spring really match.
