What is the best way to stiffen up my forks? They are adjustable, but I have them set to the hardest setting and it is still too soft for me. Can I buy different springs or spacers? If so, where?

I have an older k2 beast with Noleen Chubbt LT forks. Here is a pic of what's currently in the forks:

Scour the internet for new urethane bits and/or spring. It may be hard to find so you could be better off buying a late model used fork.

I cann't believe that fork is still working. Those used to come out of the box broken. Throw down for a new fork, I wouldn't put any money into that fork. You should be able to get a decent fork that works a ton better for a couple hundo.

I hate to say it Robee, but I agree with Tyson, it's time for a new fork. You could look around ebay and you might find some replacement parts, but it would only be a band-aid. Save up some extra cash and buy a new fork, you'll be much happier.

At any rate, good luck
