OK so when I sit on my bike, it goes down 2", I am big and understand that. What I am thinking is it would be nice if I could somehow lower my bike to the height it is when I sit on it. If I can per- drop it, it would be ez for me to get on and off it. I do not want to lower the bike to the ground, only that 2" difference of not being on it and being in the seat.
Right now I have the screw nut all the way down on the spring, which gives me a small amount of spring/sock use and is OK except for the real big pot holes. If I move the nut higher then I just bottom out on the smallest pot holes. So what I am thinking is if I could (some how) push the spring down (that 2") and hold it there, that would make the bike lower and still have some spring/sock left for the pot holes.
So, am I right in my thinking? How would I do this? Is there something else I could do to get my seat lower (I can not re-do the seat), Should I get a new spring made shorter but for a heaver load? Maybe I could just cut the spring I have now.
So let me know..........
