{"product_id":"ohlins-fork-springs-08866-04","title":"Öhlins Fork Springs – 08866-04","description":"\u003cp\u003eÖhlins part number 08866-04 is a pair of fork springs. Spring rate is the single largest variable in how a front end behaves, and it is the one thing no damping adjuster can compensate for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 08866-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Öhlins Makes Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later. Materials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made. The unit is rebuildable: seals, shims and oil are catalogue items, not a reason to buy a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Öhlins Specifies\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis number covers a matched set, so the relevant figure is the rate rather than a single length. The kit is defined by the fork it goes into rather than by a single length figure; Öhlins matches the parts before packing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing about the installation changes across a rate range: the mounting, the length and the bore stay the same. Where Öhlins lists this size against a particular unit, the listing is a starting point rather than a boundary. Öhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting is a fork-oil job: the legs come apart, the springs go in, the oil level is set to specification. If the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. Rate and preload are separate adjustments: get the rate right first, then set sag with preload.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: none is issued for springs as such — they replace an existing component of the same function. Any model-specific approval is listed under Applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins components deliver what they promise once they are fitted and set up properly.
