350# should work

 

[snowskilz]

isnt there some complicated formula with weight and leverage ration out there to use?

I agree, 350lbs should be good.

I have a 450lb spring and it does great...oh wait...I'm 190lbs. You might want an air shock > : )

Thanks Biz ink:

There are no good way to calculate this. The leverage is not linear and weight distribution on the bike are different from person to person.

Some of it depends on the rider.
I weigh right under 170 and I prefer the 450 spring.
Colin Bailey weighs about the same and runs a 450 also.
I ran a 350 for a while and never noticed it bottoming out,
I was just using way too much sag.
I still got a 350 ti spring I need to sell to somebody.

I'm 175lbs and run a 450 on my 04.
I still bottom out or should I say my rear wheel hits my seat once in a while.

 

[Espen]

Ok, how much?

I still got a 350 ti spring I need to sell to somebody.

165 and use a 350 on a fox propedal or a romic.

Jeremy, your spring is for a romic right?

Forgot to add that I'm 150lbs
