Response from Maxton

[fozzymz]

Thanks for your enquiry, we can help you out with the problem on your forks
but have no spec sheet for you to read. We convert your forks, but not by
modifying the existing internals. We throw everything inside the fork away
and start again with our internals.

The internals we supply is our own cartridge style damping system. The
cartridge system is the same type of internal as what you would find in any
modern front fork. It has been manufactured and developed by our own
engineers and has pistons and shim stacks for the rebound and compression
damping. The Cartridge also has needle valves so you can adjust the
damping. The damping adjusters are external, so you can change the damping
without having to strip the forks down, but we hide the adjusters to keep
the classic appearance. As part of the conversion we also machine new fork
tops to take the new cartridges and damping adjusters. We also fit new
springs.

Every Maxton cartridge is built to order, for this reason we valve and
spring the cartridges to suit the fork, the bike, the riders weight and what
they are using the bike for. Once the cartridge has been manufactured we
then fit the cartridge to the fork to make sure it works correctly. In most
conversions we have to modify the original bottom sliders and stanchions so
our cartridge will fit and work properly. The forks are then returned to
you fully serviced with new seals and the spring preload and damping set up.

The Maxton cartridge conversion costs £360.00 + V.A.T. We can also make the
forks adjustable for preload adjustment and rebound damping, this conversion
costs £395.00 + V.A.T.

If you need any more information about the modification we carry out you can
ring me on the telephone number above, if you cannot get through fax me your
number and I'll ring you back as our phone can be very busy.
