RaceTech Springs Valves, noticeable on the street?
Long story short, I bent my forks. I found a great deal on some racetech forks with the springs and valves. I only got them because they were such a good deal. I believe they are the .95 springs. Anyhow, after replacing them, I've noticed that when riding around town, the front end feels less neutral than before. I'm talking about just taking 15 mph turns. I'm not sure if this is because of the new forks or if its because of the tiny little bend in the rim. I've got a spare rim that I could swap, but I just wanted to get some feedback.
Should racetech forks make a noticeable different when just riding around town and taking 10-15 mph turns?

i know the feeling...after i resprung the front it felt...wierd...
before, as you turn the front suspension was compressing so you felt less resistance coming back at you, but now your springs are stiffer, takes more to compress them and you're feeling now like they are fighting to compress...RIGHT?

yea it's different. i can't feel it now though. you may want to have it set up properly as far as sag and all that good stuff to your weight.
it makes a rougher ride on the street, but in the turns, like rails and you won't come out of turns wide as you would with soft suspension.
