You will be pleased to hear that the springs and shockers are optimised for the Plus 8 Andy, as it is over 100 kgs lighter than the equivalent Aero 8 and thus the poundage of the springs is completely different.


Delighted to hear it Brian , and thanks for clearing this up.
I also like the idea of a new steering mechanism because that was on feature that I didn't like on my test drive of the Aero+8. It just seemed over-assisted and slightly "dead" around the straight ahead position.
