Anybody know of a coil spring chart (or actually, more like a calculator) that can match up a riders' weight to compressive resistance (e.g. 180 lbs = 700 lb spring)?
I understand that it's not that simple, seeing as different suspension designs have respectively different leverage ratios, and you also have to consider the amount of rear wheel travel...Not to mention spring stroke length...So that's why I was thinking there may be some sort of calculator or spread sheet that can provide the magic answer...Specifically, I'm interested in a coil spring for a Fox Nilla R on a 6 inch travel single pivot (high pivot location) bike...Couldn't find anything on Fox's site or with Google...
