Message	ZRayted, which has a RPS Carbon-Carbon. Before the install it had a very spongy pedal feel and would sometimes grind a bit. After install the pedal was stiff as a rock and seems to engage better. I would also highly recommend this upgrade while doing any clutch job. You can see the new fork is solid and the old is not.
