im still enjoying mine.

i have 14 12 spring rates and am about 3-4 inches from the ground. my dampening is set at 15 front and 20 rear. its a pretty good ride.

maybe soften yours up some if its a little bumpy for you. 29 is pretty high try 15-20 or so.

yeh could be.

10f 8r spring rates should be pretty good. but you should feel more like you said in your first one because the spring rates are def stiffer than stock and the shocks are valved a little more aggressively.

how did you lower the front? did you change the preload on the spring? or adjust it at the bottom?

i have found that some people are lowering it by changing the preload on the spring in teh front and not at the bottom bracket.

my it is a 14f 12r and i keep it at 15 down from full hard in the front and 10 down from full hard in the rear.
