I seriously could not handle that. way too impatient. After work today, i'm workin on the landscaping with wife and I remember that I have this awesome old school sprinkler I bought a few years back, nice brass and aluminum thing. I go dig the thing out, plug it in and....... water shooting out of the end. caps gone. I should have put it away until I could fix it right.    not gonna happen
I wasted the next 1/2 hour tryin to find something to plug it with, can't stop til i do.  ACE is one min from the house. It's a sickness.

I've been looking for something to help me make some adjustments to my rear.

PERVE!!   

i know where you might could find some nice adjustable showas...

Yep, but I would prefer to not have to do a triple swap just yet.  Who knows if I would want to go with a 30mm offset or not?

not always though.

that's what my wife tells me.

[teddy037.2]

that's what my wife tells me.

[teddy037.2]

there was going to be something humorous here, but, unfortunately, i was in charge of the typing, and this is all i could come up with.

Yep. Although you might only be able to adjust the front forks a bit. Unless you weigh 220 to 240 lbs you won't get anywhere with the rear. Sad to say but it's true.  To make the rear work anything like it really should you will need to replace the shock with something like an Ohlins or Penske that is sprung for your weight.  Don't believe me?  We'll find a stretch of road and then take your bike down and back. Then take mine over the same route. You'll SEE.
