    Hyperpro Springs

    There's a set I found for my bike. I guess they don't do a spring rate like Racetech does, "automatically" adjusts. What do you think of that???? Oh yeah, they're fork springs. Progressive.

    "Automatically" adjust? I don't think so. I think they're playing symantic tricks with the progressive spring. I'm betting it might be rather soft up top, and get really stiff in the bottom portion of the stroke. Most people go with linear springs on racebikes, but I've heard of a few bikes that perform well with progressive spring rates (my buddy with a V-max loves his). I'm extremely dubious of the claim to automatically adjust with no set spring rate.

    My 2 cents.

    always thought hyperpro was a semi decent company. Figured there was too much hype in that.
