[MENTION=142025]LesterOfPuppets[/MENTION] - Travel can be set to 80 with 100 optional on this fork. The steering is quite neutral once on it.

I expect to be riding in the dark soon. Days are getting shorter. Today I will try the lower air pressure in the front. I don't use this bike hard which does not justify the fork, but the price was right. As far as the HT cracking, don't forget this is a steel bike not AL. With my mild riding and the long HT due to the size of the frame, I don't have any worry's about the HT cracking. I am too old to do bunny hopping!

Performance really hasn't changed, even last nights ride. The pack was 21 lbs and I was still able to muster 16.4 mph, which is slightly above my best monthly average of 16.3.

I must confess I am interested in a hub dynomo but just haven't gotten that far yet. N+1 would apply for this to happen.

Finally took a picture of the bike as it is being ridden today, or this week:
