Just a Small Fork Spring Rate Increase for the Grom
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the front fork springs, made from steel with a 10% increased spring rate over the Honda ones is ok.About the feeling of use: The small front fork spring rate increase together with some 15w fork oil has has worked out really well for my offroad Grom. The ride feel is still comfortable while the front end drive has been eliminated.Products to buy together: Some fork oil and the Kitaco front fork spring replacement tool would also be desirable to purchase along side the front fork springs to allow for disassembly of the forks.Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about 2 hours, the heating of the lower fork legs to help release the loctite made the job a little difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting the cheapest front fork springs with a spring rate increase. When comparing to the slight more expensive ones from Kitaco but they do have more options when it comes to the springs rate so will be more suited to the heavier riders.About shipping and packaging: The faster shipping options are too expensive for myself so I just have to wait for my part to arrive via sea freight. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: Only a 10% increase in spring rate is small and maybe not enough for some people, it would be nice if Shift Up offered more options for different weight ranges for riders and riding styles.
