When you ride the zip tie will be pushed down which will in turn let you know how much travel you are using. If you are bottoming the forks out the zip tie will be touching the fork foot (the part that holds the axel and brake).
I'll do that as soon as the weather makes it possible to go for a ride. Is there a guide for shock springs so I know what tension to get? I was hoping to do most of the work myself over the winter. Thanks for all the input guys. You all rock. <img>
