    Shock ease ?

    Hey guys. I just got a shock ease springer (i guess) fork and am still waiting for the frame I'm going to run it on. Looking at it I don't know if I totally get it. Seems to me the spring in the fork just holds it together and the bushing "eases the shock". Am I on the right track? If anyone has...

    Spacing a front sprocket

    Is it possible to put washers behind a front chain ring to bump it out a little? I have an idea for The Gooch but don't want to break it all down this close to the deadline if it won't work.I need to gain a couple of 1/8th between the front sprocket and frame.Thanks for any help. :mrgreen:

    Does this exist?

    Is there a springer that is similar to a Schwinn style but has a more square crown down? I think I remember seeing this before.Shelby maybe?
