Actually the best installation video I have seen.

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

Thank you, it means a lot coming from you guys. You have designed a great product!

[@cogentdynamics]

Nice installation video!

I’m curious about your fork brace and whether it hits the bottom of your fender when the suspension is fully compressed. Thanks

Down the road, tell us if that Megiar's kit has the UV coating that (it is said) means a more permanent clouding resistance. Thanx

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

Not sure what you're asking. But let me know and I'll answer back!

It appears Martin is inquiring about the headlight restoration kit on your bench.

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

@@timsilva1944 Ah yes, it was given to me, I don't polish headlights, I sand and automotive clear coat them. Any of those kits only last 6 months max. Urethane clear coat lasts forever.

Good vid overall, just wondering if for COGENT 5W fork oil is recommended hence that bottle 5 ? You didn't mention .... guess that's it.

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

Sorry about that, yes 5wt.

[@RadicalCoach]

@@TepcoCycleRepair thnx do you remember if 1L is enough for both forks ?? How much in each w stock spring and cogent DDC ?

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

@@RadicalCoach You'll need 2 bottles it's just over .5 liters per leg.

So, I did the same install; went with higher rate Cogent springs to accommodate my fat old man rear end. The resulting setup is much better than stock, but it seems a bit over damped for everyday riding. I’ve been second guessing myself, and wondering if I should’ve gone with the Race Tech setup, which is at least adjustable (although, you have drill out the damper, so there’s that). Do you have experience with both, and if so, thoughts on one vs. the other?

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

Sorry, I don't have experience with the race tech on this bike. I do know that Cogent will be more than happy to discuss it with you to get it right. Give them a call.

[@offroadtales]

If I understand correctly, you took off the inner tube just to replace the oil seals, but it's not necessary for installing just the cogent emulator?

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

Yes, that's correct. Great set up!
