Front suspension... No issues or problems at all. Kids just don't weigh much compared to the variance in the weight of adults...

I think the install was pretty standard for any mtn bike that has the same whole pattern on the fork. I put it on Giant worked great.

I have one mounted on fat bars on a Felt full suspension bike and the mount is good enough. The Felt model has a funny name like redemption or ridiculous. The piece that holds the spray is not super strong and very sharp bumps to little jumps can cause it to pop out.

So far the front tree stand seems good. I give the bike a good shake and there is very little wobble and sturdy enough to work on. Haven't had a problem with it yet. I grabbed the Venom fork and rear stands with this as well. The rear stand is good, very solid. But the fork stand bent slightly and the rubber pads lost traction after only a couple of weeks so the bike just kind of rolls off of it. Overall, the tree stand is good for the money and the rear stand works good as well, but maybe look elsewhere for a fork stand.

I don't use the extra bar. I've only used it for a few trips, but so far, so good. I just turn the back wheel more superiorly so the bar sits on the rack. I suppose shifting might be more of an issue on longer trips.

It has worked great for Me. I do not use it for mountatin use though. It is on my commuter bike. It definitely seems to be well built.

I would strongly suggest it. Initially I tried without one and I felt like I was falling over the handlebars. Plus it seemed to put a lot of stress on the front tire. I bought the riser the next day.

IM not 100%but I don't think front suspension bikes can mount this unless your bike has the holes for it, I kno it did not fit my commuter that's a 29 ER no.front suspension and it did not fit my mountain bike either that's full suspension. 26 in tires....try a basket or.rack that mounts from your handle bars then adapt your front light to that

Hi,I purchased this bike and has front and back brakes, still its very heavy. I placed a 80cc engine and a moped gas tank in it and its awesome.I dont recomend it if you dont live in a flat city, its too heavy for daily use.regards

Sorry I never replied here -- but here's a link to some photos of the strap setup (scroll down to the bottom of the discussion):http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=440646

I gained almost 2 inches of handlebar height over my stock stem, and it brought the bars back approximately an inch. So it sounds like this would about do it for you. Also, this was slightly lighter than my stock stem.

I think you'll be happy with them. For the money, they're a great upgrade. I can't say if they're better than the originals, since I can only compare them to the 30+ year old, beat springs I replaced. I've used progressive springs on a couple of bikes now, the other being my 1980 CB750c, and I'm really happy with them. They were perfect on the 750, which is good since it didn't have air shocks to compensate. For the money they seem to be the best springs out there.

GlennI tried it on mine and found that I had to constantly tighten it. The jarring on the single track around where I ride was too much for it. I would not recommend it for true mountain biking on single track.

Yes - I recently installed them on exactly that. It was a quick install w/ the exception of the left strut mount was not indexed correctly. I had to compress the spring to turn the mount. They will raise the front 2" which is almost perfectand they ride great. I did order the left and right assemblies but still had the prob with indexing.

The front wheel does not have any kind of shock absorber. My TDF is stashed and snowed-in for the winter, so no info on wheel size. Note: I'm 6'1" and the bike is just a bit small for me.

It's a bit stiffer than stock but not bad. I added RC .75" spacers to the front to help level it out. It sits very level now. You need to check out all of your front end components and bushings because this kit (any lift) will induce 'death wobble" if anything is worn. A steering stabilizer will only band-aid any real issues you have going on. I highly recommend doing control arms and an alignment and play with your tire pressure until you get it right. It takes a lot of money and effort to lift one of these jeeps right so don't think this is a cheap fix as I did. It does clear new jk 255 17's with very minimal rub, though and the wheels bolt right up. It's a bit stiffer than stock but not bad. I added RC .75" spacers to the front to help level it out.
