Review Summary:
Really helps with handling. More subtle counter steering now moves my bike. love the increased responsiveness. One important note for Aero 1100 riders. The 5.75" spacers they recommend are really too long for most riders. A tech at Progressive told me for a bike the weight of the Aero 1100, and for an average weight rider, use spacers that are long enough to stick out only 0 - 0.25" above the top edge of the fork (with the front wheel off the ground). That means you really need spacers that are about 5.5" or a hair smaller, not 5.75" as their paperwork recommends. A 5.75" spacer will create more preload than what they recommend, and it will raise the height of your front end.
