my 03' bighit dh frame is coming in the mail tommorow, and I have a few questions about the frame.

what size spring is approperiate for me? i'm 225 lbs, and will be using the 8.1 inch travel mode primearaly. also the shock is a fifth element.

also, what do the three top shock mounting holes do, I know that the bottome ones effect the travel/head angle

answers would be greatly appreciated

The three top shock mounts change the geometery. The holes on the bottom link change the travel, BB height, and make it linear or progressive. There is a sticker near the chainguide which will tell you all of the options. Make sure you read my note that I enclosed in the box.

Top 3 holes change the progressiveness. Bottom 4 change travel and geo,
