Hi,
as the title says I'm around 230lbs with all my bike gear on and I'm planning on getting a V10 again for next season, used to race a bit, but going to hit the big stuff at safe speeds without risking too much . For pricing reasons I have to choose between the Boxxer WC and the Fox 40. I'm more inclined towards the 40 because I've been riding different iterations of the Talas 36 the last 4 years on my all-mountain bikes and have had only good things to say about it. My problem is I'm not sure if I'll be able to set up the spring rate on the 40 properly, given that you can only set it up with different springs and a preload adjuster. I used to have a Boxxer Team before and I know, not being able to dial the SAG exactly how you want bothered me and the preload adjuster didn't do much there. The fork will go on the new V10c XL with a Vivid air for starters.
And in general, 40 or Boxxer WC for a heavy rider? Cheers!
P.S: searched the forum and didn't find anything relating heavy riders to this specific choice of forks...but feel free to point the thread if I missed it and delete this one.
P.S: Hi everyone!...has been a long time since I posted something, was busy finishing study stuff...next week I should be an engineer
