are you running the same spring rate and shock setting as your Revolt?
Yes.

lol gorilla set-up
Nice bike, not sure about the triple nubbin setup at the front though!
Built in the hotelroom at 2am and that was the first light of day shot. :) I basically just moved everything from my Revolt over, needless to say it isn't setup like that now. But I do run a little lower setup as I'm 6'3 with a 78" wingspan and the frame is an x-large.

Kevin told me to go up an extra 50lbs in spring...

Havent received my frame yet, but having a TI spring already I am tempted to stay with the smaller size and try it out before rushing out to buy another TI.

Do you feel that you need to go up a spring size?
 
With some really vertical levers....yeesh. Whatever works I guess.
the more vertical the brake levers(to a point), the less you compromise your hands grip on the bar when you actually reach for them since they are in a direct line with your arms. the more horizontal they are, the more you have to roll your wrists back when you reach for them...

I'm in the same boat with my Ti spring. I'll check the sag and see where I'm at.

definitely a bad picture. Or at least, a bad embedding.

All i see is black.

The link works though, and it looks cool.

When I upgraded to the Ti spring on my Revolt, I went from a 300# spring to a 350#. I didn't change a setting on the RC4 when I installed it and everything feels great. Just rode the **** of of Silverstar for 3 days this weekend and couldn't be happier. At this point I see no need to go heavier.

Titanium has nothing to do with what the spring rate is. 300lbs is the same in Ti and steel.
Your steel spring more then likely wasn't measured accurately like most Ti springs are and the 350lb spring is what you really needed to be on

Swinging back through seattle after whistler and picking up my undead.
fedex tracking of shipped frame. woohoo!
Wait, did you go to evil HQ only to have them tell you it'd be shipped and to portland in two weeks? You must be a monk or something with the patience that you show. Either that or you were one of our latest rashes of drive-by shooting attempts...
