I've got an old GT LTS 3000 DS, which I really like. It's in really good condition, but I want to try and get more/better performance from the forks. They are RST High 5's (single crown). They must be fifteen years old, and I was getting about 700 mm travel until I swapped out some elastomers from another RST (381 DH) and took one set of rubbers out of the spring, now I can get about 100mm. It feels okay for what it is, which is old and cheap.
I was wondering, though, what would happen if I swapped some of the elastomers for the small spring stacks from the 381 (the ones which lie at the bottom of the fork).
Am I right in thinking these are for small hits, and the elastomers for big hits?
Will doing that give it better medium hit resistance, or will it just turn it into a pogo stick?
Just wondering really, and not wanting to get my hands dirty unless I have to.
Thanks
