No problem that fork sucks anyway. The only way I was able to make mine work well for me was to replace the elastomers with (the no longer made) MRP Speed Springs. I'm actually planning on replacing that fork (five years later I can't complain) with a rigid seeing as how that bike is reitred from dirt duty.
