Trying to get sag dialed.
I'm on a large Heckler, 5th Element 7.875 x 2.0" (200 x 50mm), 275# x 2" Coil. With gear and full Camelback I weigh ~ 190#, pre-load set to max at 8mm (6 turns), 125psi air, I'm at 183mm eye to eye when on the bike. Works out to 34% sag. I'm trying to get to 25% sag w/ max pre-load to ride more XC and be able to back off to 40% for more technical and light freeride.
I need a heavier spring. Thinking 300 or 350 and don't want to spend $$$ on both. Has anyone jumped just 25# on their spring? Will it get me to the 25% sag? Of course I want it all... trying to keep plush ride w/ little bob. Any thoughts?
