so? that's utterly irrelevant.

Thus my bike has "Judys" on it. I find these increasingly hard
to load. Can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong?

so what exactly are you doing?

Quoted message said:

The darn thing is basically impossible to move. Have I gone to far?

isn't that the same question asked twice?

how old are these shocks? are they elastomer springs? if so, they can
get harder with age - or failing lubrication. help us help you - try to
be more precise with the question and try to provide the relevant facts.

Can't you at least try and be polite to the man? He asked for help and
you give him arrogance, what's wrong with you?

The shocks are 4 years old. How irrelevant is it when I say "I can't
turn the &^$%^^ things!"?

Completely. Nobody in the room I'm sitting in could understand what you were
talking about in the first post. This one isn't helping.

First you were trying to "load" them. That term means nothing in relation to a
fork. "Fork" by the way is a word that would've helped you be understood.

Then you couldn't "move" them and now your can't "turn" them.

Please, we'd love to help but you need to describe what you are trying to do and
what isn't happening.

Is there an adjustment you are trying to make?

Do the forks not turn in the headset?

Do they not go boing going over bumps?

Are the rest of your communications this obscure, thus explaining your pecuniary
misfortune.

How can we know what your problem is if you don't use words and tell us?

Okay, YOU tell me what the hell he's talking about.

Asking for others to help you but being too damn lazy to type the extra three or
four words that would make it possible is very irritating to those of us who
actually try to help.

I picked up my first suspension (only front) mtb this year. My LBS
owner told me the J1's ( have a haro v4), is only build for a
'average' person. That even comeing by replacement springs might be
differecult, and adjusting the fork for other riders (lighter,
heavier) is impossible. I'm guessing no one makes them. So I was
told that I might "want to" move to another model, V5, or manufacture
to get around the J1.

So back to your question, you want follow the directions for loading
the fork. Also understand there might be a limitation to what it can
do if you are a bigger person. I think there is a stop in the
adjustor that prevents you from going too far, so you might have maxed
it out. So back to an answer that solves so many questions, go to
your local bike shop.

I've only had my Haro v4, with a J1 for a few months, and since I'm
losting a few pounds and learning the hard lession to get weight off
the handle bars, the fork seems to work better and better with time.
