But, what I noticed was that I was having a hard time with the big jumps. Normally, before the garodiscs what I use to do is wait until I was on the jump then max it, and it used to jump flat in the air most of the time and land smooth. Now, if I try that approach to the jump it would jump nose high until the battery lose some power. Then, it would jump normal again. I also went from 12 to a 14 pinion. I loving those garodiscs, but I have to do something with those big jumps. It was fine until I went to the 14 pinion and garodiscs, but I don't want to change those because I like the always available power from the garodiscs and the extra speed on the backstretch from the 14 pinion.
I want to try the Shorty's. Any pictures of it?
Coconut, by shorty's I am thinking you are meaning the short springs in the rear? If so here is a pic. The only thing needed are some front springs of your choice and, in some cases, spacers added under the Spring Cup. As you can see I am running the Blue front springs on the rear shocks. Some have run into issues with the shortened spring length allowing the spring to get out of alignment with the cup so have added 3 or so mm of spacers between the cup and the rod end but I have not had that issue so am running the spacers on the top of the cup to limit up-travel. Hope that helps.
