That was all after morning brew! I was catching up on TS before morning brew

Probably been posted before, but made me smile..

... too high for track riding, I need to aim for 20-25 front and 10-15 rear. I'll definitely start at the higher end (25/15) to see how that feels before I progress anymore but this should solve my issues with using all the suspension travel.
