The only tweak is using a different spring and/or adjusting the rebound with the basic adjuster. I highly recommend having it serviced by Silverfish if the budget allows.

Be super careful with the stays. They are super slim and a weak point.

Thank you for your advice...I'll bare this in mind now.

I'll check out silverfish now for future reference.

All the best mate.

If commuting off-road, good, on-road, definitely think about something less precious!

Also, whatever you do, make sure you get some frame protection around the seat-tube to prevent cable rub. I know through experience
