INSYNC 158 suspension fork question...

"INSYNC 158 suspension fork with 45 mm of travel"

I am looking at buying a bike with this fork, can it be adjusted for travel and weight?

If so, how?

Is there a manufacturers web site? Diagrams?

Any help is appreciated.

dont be stupid. buy a bike with a manitou, a marzocchi, or a rockshox fork. If youre poor like me, buy the shittiest bike with RST, as theyre better than nsyncs. make sure you get one that fits though. I dont actually know much about this but I've read a lot on that topic. If you can muster up 400 buy a Gary Fisher wahoo - relatively low end components but a really nice ride, with comfortable genesis geometry, and a fork thats quite cheap but feels nice.

Thanks for the reply, that's good advice:

The bike came yesterday. It has RST, nice and soft, just what I needed, travel is a little longer but once in the saddle thats OK. It came with a huge fold out sheet in 5 languages that says nothing can be adjusted.

It is an entry level (around US$400) trekking bike from Felt (Trevisa), bought for winter shopping and commuting to the pool. Today it gets its carrier, next week its winter fenders... I have bought nice Michelin Panniers..

Good for you that it didn't came with the Insync, those are **** Mine came with one of those, don't know the model but it lasted about 6 months, then I bought a Marzocchi MX comp w/ETA, great fork, it is about a year old and have done nothing to it, it holds the pressure for long time I seldomly have to put air into it. I wanted durability and sturdiness as main feature I didn't care for weight, and Marzocchi was recommended over Rock Shox and Manitou. A friend has had a couple of RSTs and has nothing but good things to say about them. He's not to heavy, I weight 200lbs .
