Can i get harder springs for a low end fork?
ive got an MZ COMP that came with my hardrock pro and i was jumping a 4 stair and the fork bottoms out even with the preload set as hard as can go. i weigh 105 (im 14) and should i save and buy a new fork or does zokey have stiffer springs that will fit this fork. Iwas looking at the 2004 zokey Z.1 Freeride SL because they have it at jenson for $360 and it has loads of great reviews. would this fork be ok? and could i adjust that fork to be hard for jumping and plush for trails?
thanks-
chris

just came back from LBS and they said that they could get me harder springs for 40 bucks. i dont know where they buy em from because i cant find anything on the zokey website. I think im gonna save the money and probably buy this Z1 they have for 300 bucks. yes 300 bucks! one guy is sponsored and got it for free but doesnt need it. i hope my parents will get it for me before the other 2 people that have their eyes on it do.

i got the Z1!!!!!!!!! its so sexy! i will sell you my MZ COMP for 50 bucks, all lubed and ready to go, if my best friend still doesnt want it. the only problem with it is that when you lube it up, it tends to attract dirt after a couple days, and get really sticky.
i will take a measurement of the steerer tube tomorrow and let you know what size. its really important that it will fit your bike and not be too short.
