Just a quick Heads-up with the V4S Valves Steve...

Firstly check that you have exactly the same spring tension on each valve..(Mine were noticeably different when new). You can either count the number of turns from where the springs start to compress or measure the spring length with a set of Vernier Calipers.

Secondly, even though the lock nut is a "Nyloc", use some Loctite on the thread....I am currently servicing my forks and noticed both of the cap screw had backed off to the extent there was at least 1.5mm of slack. This would have effectively nullified the effect of the V4S valve.

Have had a couple of big scares recently with the front end ploughing in corners and in deep sand..(I just thought the fork oil had "gone-off").

I am also considering putting two lock nuts on..to be doubly sure!!!
