Hi folks
I have a 2011 SuperTen with 38,000 miles on the clock . I'm 65 and 6'6" but because I have short legs I do have trouble getting my leg over (in more ways than one possibly...) especially with panniers in place and all the kit. The lower seat setting is too cramped and I've experimented with the suspension fittings - I've even tried a different system to get on the bike but I can't get any younger!
I have my perfect bike so I don't want to change it
So I'm looking at either a lowering kit or a Hyperpro shock built to customer spec . The shock isn't giving signs of being worn but at 38k miles and lots of long distance touring it might be wise to replace .
I would be grateful for any thoughts/experiences etc of the lowering kits .
