Future Shock 1.5

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Now I'm thinking I might like the firm a little better. I love this bike and it's fine as it is... I just wanted to experiment a little.

Very nice bike!! Too bad about the springs; Spec. should be able to supply them to you. Unfortunately I no longer have mine, or I'd send 'em on gratis. My 1.0 was warrantied straight to a 2.0.

I've got all 3 Springs here, but I can't see myself needing to change
It was just a idea if you were interested. FYI, I replaced my 1.0 Future Shock in my S-Works Roubaix without issues even though officially Specialized said it was a no go.

My 1.0 was actually replaced with 2.0 by Specialized under warranty, so I have no concerns. Admittedly, this was on my Sirrus (hangs head in shame; flat-earth bar road cyclist), but still ... I'm not sure about the veracity of the 'party line' on this!
