Ok, so I had a deal for a Perp but it fell through. I've decided to just bite the bullet and build up the 6Point frame I have sitting in my room that I was trying to sell.
Anyways, I plan on going for a mini DH type build, and using it as a do it all bike.
I'm hoping some people on here have or do ride them, as I have a question regarding spring rates. I know the stock bikes come with pretty light springs, 300lb for the smaller sizes.
I weigh about 150lbs, can I get away with using a 250lb spring? I've heard if the shock is undersprung it can cause damage, and I'd rather not be stuck with nothing to ride because of that. I can get a great deal on a 250lb Ti spring, hence my reason for asking.
I'll be running a short shock.
Thanks for any tips or advice!
