Being November here in Wisconsin. I just received my AXEO's. Will try to get them installed before the snow falls. I doubt I will be able to test them till next year. Thanks everybody for advise and help. The only issue I see is the weight chart turns for stiffness. That sounds **** like? lol. I am 225 lbs. I float between 210 and 250. Should I set it up for 200 or 250? ???? One or two turns?

Let us know what you try first and how that worked out.

Yea, the part I don't like is that if you don't like the setting, (any brand), you have to tear it down again. It would be nice to get it right the first time around!

Hmm ... how much do you weigh?

I am 225. I always carry rain gear and a jacket/crap in my tour bags. So maybe another 15 lbs. I think I am going with 200 lbs setting. The only complaint I ever hear about any front suspension is too stiff. The only too soft complaints seem to comes from using stock suspension. Which is crap anyway. Even on the Progressive mono tubes. If all clips are removed, it is good just lowered 1 inch. What would be nice is 1.5 turns. But the flat spot on the shaft for the set screw makes that limited. So its one or two turns.

I got these installed with the 2 spacers and the front end is too stiff. Progressive told me to remove one spacer. Is this a full installation job or is there a way to remove the spacer without having to remove the forks, tire, fender, etc?
It's a complete tear down. I had the same issue.
