My 10 yo son's bike is an '04 Spec. bighit grom...he really loves it and it was pretty cheap...the susp. however was, for some strange reason, set up for an adult rider???
I removed one of the springs from the fork which had a huge stiff spring on both sides...that helped a lot...on to the rear shock....it came with a 450lb spring???? WTF??? on a 24" kids bike??? anyway...it's got any i to i of 7.75 which is standard...but can't find a light enough spring for it...he is small...maybe 75lbs with gear...is an air shock the way to go??? If so, which one...Fox rp???

Thanks in advance for your help!
