OnlyA2Stroke Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 I just ordered a stiffer spring today and Erica was great to deal with and sounded hot too. Anyways, she asked me a bunch of questions but I added about 25 lbs to my wait so I would get a stiffer spring. Is that alright? I way 185lbs and asked for a spring rate to support 215 lbs with all gear. I just don't want to get to stiff of a spring to bounce my ass off my bike after a jump. She also, said the spring would be red or blue(I hope not on my black/red bike). Well, any info would help if I should tell them to drop the weight. Thanks Quote
letsgetthisdone Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 they should've asked for your wieght, riding style/skill level, and swinger wieght. that way you get the right spring... Quote
OnlyA2Stroke Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Posted September 10, 2007 they did ask all of that. I told her that I ride sand dunes, trails, grave rodes, hills. I am an intermediate level rider and that I weight 215 lbs with all gear on, but only about 195 lbs with all gear on. I want to know if adding the extra 20 lbs was ok? Quote
letsgetthisdone Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 its just gonna work better when your haulin ass over big bumps and be a lil choppier over the small choppy stuff when your goin slow... Quote
Justintoxicated Posted September 12, 2007 Report Posted September 12, 2007 When I talked to them, they asked for my Weight (Without Gear), Skill/Style, and Swingarm LENGTH not weight. But you have to have the shock revalved too to go with your spring in order to make a really noticable improvement, otherwise yes, your just getting more spring. Quote
