Hiya all,
My poor ol' tourer has a hard life. As a result the rear suspension tends to spend a lot of its life, er, lowered.
I tow, I carry, I lift share and shunt. Bikes, people, luggage, caravans, trailers, the lot, and the tyres thus pay the price by losing their shoulders really quickly (short suspension trailing arms?).
My question is to do with stiffening said rear suspension, there are a few established methods for doing so,
I've done the first, suffered the second and have not tried the third. I'd like to try a method such as the inflatable/adjustable stiffening, but am open to suggestion; can anybody recommend a tried and tested method? I've seen one or two threads here, but can't seem to find anything that substantial...

- rubber bungs,
- new springs,
- inflatable bladders etc.
