We would like to urge you to rethink your front suspension!
The majority of the stress will be on the little shocks which are
designed for compression only!
For example, if you use the front brake, the shocks try to extend and
top out (aluminum treads inside!!!) ! Think of the forces on your frontwheel
under heavy braking and the added arm to multiply the leverage by your front fork!
If the shocks fail, your whole front end would fold back!
We don't pipe up on this forum very often, but when we do, it
is because of a major safety concern!
(we have a set of exactly the same shocks in the shop, we did testing on)
Thank you for the heads up. Do you think I'd be alright if I ran the shocks partially compressed with limiting straps so they can never fully extend? I come from a desert racing background and that is common practice since most shocks, (even expensive American and German made ones) should never fully extend or compress.
