madmostin Report post Posted December 13, 2016 It does with valve springs but that's more to do with the added inertia of the denser coils I guess. Not that a Fantic has valve springs. So I don't know. See above, not a bad idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axulsuv Report post Posted December 14, 2016 If my memory works , Tight coils to the top ... But I don't think it makes much difference . I seem to remember some action and reaction thing I learned somewhere ... Glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shakennstirred Report post Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) I have always seen them at the top and I have always put them at the top on my bikes. Edited December 14, 2016 by shakennstirred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prelit Report post Posted December 14, 2016 Hi Guys, Tighter wound coils to the top, this will slightly decrease the un sprung weight. Prelit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b40rt Report post Posted December 15, 2016 Cut the tight coils off and fit a spacer ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old trials fanatic Report post Posted December 15, 2016 LOL so im now none the wiser. Not sure if i should go with progressive springs or not and also not sure if i do if it makes any difference which way up they are Perhaps a different question? Has anybody fitted the Magicals and noticed a difference and if so better or not ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stan wellback Report post Posted December 15, 2016 I fitted magicals to my swm (marzocchi's) to replace tired springs. they have been excellent, but you do need a spacer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roester Report post Posted December 15, 2016 I fitted Magicals, along with 7.5 wt oil, rather than 10 wt, to my TY mono and was really surprised how much difference they made. One of the best upgrades I have done. And yes, you are meant to have the tighter wound part of the springs at the top. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shakennstirred Report post Posted December 21, 2016 I know of a few that have fitted the Magicals and they have said its a great upgrade. I'm getting some for my Beamish, after Christmas , the stock ones are tired 37 year olds 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
