Default My easy new bump stop Idea for Front

I have used the tennis ball idea and that worked pretty good. I may end up going back to them if the new idea fails.

On to the new idea.

I am going to try this because if this works it will allow me to have adjustable bump-stops. I am going to find a small football (pigskin preferably). I can then get it in the coils flat and air it up to what I need it to be. I can let air out or add as needed. I don't know how long it will last but its worth a shot. Its a pain to take the coils out lol. If this don't work I will go back to the tennis *****.

Why not just do hockey pucks and be done with it? That way you know it will stop at the right spot every time.

You like sports or something? Why does it need to be adjustable?

Just do prothanes and call it a day.

Adjustable is for when I go to 35s

I like being different haha. I actually do like sports. I came up with the idea because I use golf ***** to balance my tires and I had tennis ***** in the old coils. and it hit me what other sporting ***** I could use somewhere and the idea hit me.

Because that would be guessing. I don't have 2, 35 inch swampers laying around to measure it. I'm definitely going to attempt this because it might actually work.
I also have no idea on how long it may be for 35s.

Why are you bumpstopping for 35's you don't and won't have them for a long time? I'm confused. Bumpstop for what you have on now, and worry about it when you need to.






Or don't, your call

I'm not doing it for 35s but if this idea works all I have to do later is add air.

I completely understand this. It's fun to take something that could be so simple and elaborate on it. Go for it man. There's probably so many different things that you can just think of even though people have a simpler way of doing it. I like that you're trying to be unique
