So I remember reading where a Monkey was talking about this somewhere, but couldn't find it after searching...
Info I've gathered thus far:
1. The 40 RC2 comes from the factory with a Ti spring in the left leg. This spring is extremely soft, and probably only suitable for riders that are about 120 to 140 lbs.
2. I'm also aware that Fox makes replacement springs for the 40, but from what I've heard these are made from traditional steel.
So if you want to increase your spring rate you will also be increasing the weight of your fork... someone here once said that to do so would bring the fork into the average weight range for a DH race fork of about 7.5lbs. (Listed weight is 6.79lbs.)
Can those with experience with the Fox 40 shed some light on this?
Thanks.
