trails in bay area california??

Sorry Mike, I can't help you on that one. The only riding I've done down there is down hwy-25 to the Pinnacles National Monument (great hiking) and onto 198 through Coalinga to I-5 and back home. If you like rides like that, try hwy-130, Mt. Hamilton Rd., out of San Jose. There are lots of tight twisties to get to the Lick Observatory. (Stop and tour the telescope!) Just past the observatory there is a road that takes you toward Lake Del Valle and the back way into Livermore. A very nice ride, but be sure to check a map before you take off. You may want to tour the wineries around Livermore, too.

How about well south of the Bay area, and west of I-5? Say, anything from Hollister south, all the way to Paso Robles...? That's a big patch of California!

fork oil level w/ progressive springs

I noticed that the progressive springs are longer, thicker, and weigh ~ 0.5 lbs more than the standard springs in my A14. The manual says to fill the compressed fork to 190 mm from the top, but I was thinking that with the progressive spring, wouldn't I want to add less oil (i.e
> 190 mm) since the progressive spring will displace more fluid volume
than the standard spring? Any comments and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Stu
