Fraser, as you turn the travel down the fork compresses - so you should be fine.
I bought a set last week, just need to get out and break em in a bit before posting a review...
Only concern is that the manual states not to continue turning the u-turn dial once maximum travel is reached - but how do you tell when its @ max travel? The alloy stanchioned forks in the range have markings on to tell you, but the steel on the tora doesnt seem to. Any ideas?
