Front Suspension Issues

[greg_in_london]

I'll let you know, but I'm hoping to be away as soon as I receive the springs if all goes to plan. Unless it's raining and I stop in an internet cafe I won't be able to comment until September. If the springs don't arrive until after we go, obviously we won't know then !

Man, Greg, how long is your holiday???

 

That cartridge emulator stuff is very interesting. Is there a downside?

 

Regarding the EANDS anti-dive: Does anyone know if it ever causes problems? Does it really do much of anything?

Hi,

 

We got back Saturday night and I started work again today. Our school Summer holidays are 5 1/2 weeks and we went away for 3 1/2 weeks - after I had upgraded the suspension. I used a 1200lb/in spring on the back and the 12kg/mm springs in the front. It made a great improvement which meant we survived the Polish roads. Still not total comfort exactly, but bearable.

 

We did 3,400 miles between 6th and 30th August without significant problems.

 

Dover to Dunkirk. Over the border from France into Belgium, camped the night before visiting Holland (Eindhoven) for coffee an then staying with friends in Dusseldorf for a few days. Then on to Poland via Magdeburg and Neubrandenburg (beautiful campsite by the lake, but awful cobblestone road to get there. Two nights near Coszalin on the Baltic Coast and a couple more overnight stops (although we missed Marienburg Castle because of time lost in traffic jams around Gdansk) before we got to the wedding in Lithuania where I played the pipes. A couple of days at another lakeside campsite near the Polish border then we headed south via Warsaw and Cracow before reaching Strakonice in the Czech Republic for a music festival. A few days there before we had to head back. In Bavaria we were invited back to another bike/beer/music rally in October and then we visited a friend of a friend for a few days North of Stuttgart. Finally another couple of days heading back, including a stop-over in Gent.

 

Oh yes, then we ran out of petrol seven miles from home, but some friends came out and saved us and we went for a pint. And found the girlfriend's son has acquired a dog while we were away, but that's another story.

 

A great trip,though.
