Hi guys,

I have just bought my 11 year old son a Specialized hardrock, with an RST fork on it, he only weighs about 5 stone, 155kilos, when we went out the fork wasn't moving, it worked when i rode it. I have taken the spring/elastomer stack out of one leg , and now he gets perfect travel. my question is this, Is the fork ok with only one side sprung?
