hi there.
sorting out the terrible front end on my newly purchased firestorm,.
along with new discs, rebuilding callipers, wheel bearings, new tyre, new headstock tapered bearings the forks are also dead soft and bottom out on any major speed bumps or potholes- very unpleasant experience and I'm sure not good for the rest of the front end when it knocks so harshly.
so anyway i need to sort for as cheap possible.
do you have details/contact details of roger who rebuilds them stiffer and improved?
thanks,
Mat.

if its around £200 seems a bargain as a set of springs alone is at least £100.
if i can get the dough ill do this at same time as the headstock bearings..
