I just found out that BC also has a rubber bushing option vs. the pillow ball upper mounts. This should help some of the high freq noise I have seen as lower speeds and I will be testing them as soon as I have received them. Still trying to get some good vids, so stay tuned. I had a busy wekk last week and the snow storms did not help much ;) But its nice out today, so should be good.

Yes.. that rubber bushing option will give you back that "Lexus" feel so to speak.. :)

Also what kind of spring rates are you testing??

All the research I have done shows you should be in the 12kg for the fronts and 7kg for the rears...

Joe, the intial rates are 14K front and 10K rear and if I go past 20 clicks its pretty soft.

In the 6-15 clicks front you get a good range of performance, I would like to have more of a damping range since there are 30 clicks after all.

The pillow balls I have found on colder days will make noise, but nearly no noise on a warmer day over 60 degrees. I think people would appreciate the setup I have now with the rubber upper mounts.

So I will most likely offer two configs, one for track and one for supersport if you will.

Here is a Vid from yesterday for you to gauge the ride and handling. A lot of traffic in the canyon, but still fun. I extended the vid to show regular road ride performance, its a little tough to perceive with the fisheye, but you get an idea. The camera is mounted right over the front wheel on the fender.
