    I would like to get the front end of my XC/CRs a little lower, I have not done it but I would like to find a short spring in the 13mm-1/2" range, that would drop the front end and still keep over 11" of fork travel. I think I could use a urethane bumper, I have some old mountain bike forks with urethane bumpers for the main spring. With the CR damper a top out coil spring can be 1.2" long and still be stock WR travel.

    Too hot to ride yet but chamfering the edges of the plasitic washer and 75 sae man trans fluid works well on my compress and release test,I compress the leg and let it free to rebound at its own pace, rebound slowed enough not to bounce off the floor when returning to normal length and had negligable effect on compression.
