    If I set the recommended preload there is about 25mm to go before it bottoms out

    Erm yea it's a savage bike to ride. Although I haven't rode a standrd blade.
    But as soon as I got a few things right eg. Tyre px,bar settings, pegs. It felt so good

    I do believe they can be a bit harsh as they come , but I was really lucky , mine came from a racing team who had
    fitted the Andreani piston kit for a bit more compliance . Plus I'm no 10 stone racing whippet :rolleyes:
    I am really happy with mine
