Theres no reason you cant poke the fork tubes through 20 or 25mm to sharpen the steering a little more.
I would put a cable tie snugly around one fork leg and push it down to the slider.
This will tell how much tavel you are using because its best not to bottom out,especially while braking.
Push the cable tie back down before each ride.If you have some travel left after each ride,then alls well.
I had mine poked through 25mm for a while,but after one ride,my O ring(cable tie) was topped out so i returned it to 20mm.
Ironically i usually have between 10-20mm of travel left after each ride so i could put it back to 25mm now with confidence.
What Avon Radials are you using?
I would recommend atleast 36psi front and 42-44 rear for better stability.My pressures dropped a bit after a few months and i felt a little weave reappear.
I will check out the Bridgy A40
Cheers
Please let me know how you rate the handling of the Radials compared to cross plys.
