I am having hard time finding the proper spring rate for my rear shock. The spring on my bike has no marking on it, so I don't know what it is, but it is way too stiff. I am not able to set a proper sag. Does anybody know what spring to use for my weight ( 155 lb without gear and I use the bike mostly for desert riding ), or how to find the proper spring. I think I would like to try the progressive spring, but I am open to suggestions.

i think your bike came with a progressive on it. you should be able to get a std spring off any fatty on this site i'd have thought?

ask coronaberg and ned37 if they have one - not that ned's fat or anything!!!!!!

Hey Taffy! I try the humour for you please,

I went on google night end, when look for "Tim-nice-but-Dim".

I also look on "Taffy". I find this on web page.

Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a thief;
Taffy came to my house
And stole a piece of beef.

I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy was not home;
Taffy came to my house
And stole a marrow bone.

I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy was not in;
Taffy came to my house
And stole a silver pin.

I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy was in bed;
I took up a poker
And threw it at his head.

I went to Taffy's house,
His manners were absurd;
Taffy came to my house,
And sh@gged my sheepish Berg!!!! :lol:

I hope you like funny?

thank you

Anton

need specs on my spring!

Ok guys I have one of these too but no markings. How can I find out the spec - its a PDS style. Is it directly equivalent with some EXC ktm bikes if standard?

RE: need specs on my spring!

very difficult. size of the wire, angle/amount of coils are the only 2 i know of but you need to have it measured and a good shop will do this for you.
