425 might be your lucky number!

And according to the fairly accurate science of numerology:
"Number 425 represents a vibration spectrum of number 4, number 2, five 5

“You spend too much time on your duties,” is what the Four in the message of the angels means. However, drawbacks in personal life - or complete absence of it - cannot be compensated for by hard work. Diligence is an excellent quality. But only when combined with other essential components of your life, it brings a feeling of happiness.

The Two sent by the angels in this case means that in the very near future circumstances will present you with a dilemma on which a lot can depend. Use the qualities of this number to make the correct choice - diplomacy, sensibility and the ability to see the "golden middle". In this case, no negative results will follow.

The Five in the message of heaven is the last warning. If you go on indulging your desire to enjoy life at any cost, you will find a huge disappointment, in this area in particular. Everyone has to pay for pleasure sooner or later."

You spent a lot of time on this. Impressive.

I ride a 400 or 450 spring, (CC) I guess it would not be applicable?

Um so like you know fox, super alloy, ext and others make 425 springs right?

Yes, but that wasn’t my point.

Edit: I read the fine print, and it looks like they make test springs higher than 380, I just looked at the pictures.

Google is my friend, it took no more than 1 minute.
I am no way near to master bullshit at that level in any language I know...

fuckin science yo!

Now we need someone to come up with adjustable variable coil springs.

 

[rideit]

I think that’s called “Air Spring”

 

[SkaredShtles]

Would it be possible to make a coil out of air?

 

[StiHacka]

Would it be possible to make a coil out of air?

After *some* food, I am sure I am quite capable.

Would it be possible to make a coil out of air?

Yes, but it would only be compatible with cable actuated hydraulic brakes.

MW Industries Carbon Composite Bellows Shock Spring

No, that's not a neoprene shock protector. It's actually a carbon spring system that reduces shock weight and provides additional tuning options. This creation was one of the biggest highlights from day one inside Interbike. Known as the CCBS...

Didn't MRP beat CC to this punch by a significant amount of time?

lol, interbike

Problem with both is only 50lb increments, although at least CC has multiple stoke options.

Progressive springs have been around since when, the 15th century?

 

[rideit]

Well, they definitely have been around since post #52 in this very thread.

 

[Bikael Molton]

I can't wait until 6 months from now when someone decides to relaunch the Progressive 5th Element.

Ask Fox to add a progressive spring to a Boostvalve shock, they own the patent now.

Well, for MTB since stratos-days, so pretty much.

Who else here loves deep-travel harshness?!
