I ride an '01 Joker, which is currently equipped with a Fox Vanilla with a 600 pound/inch spring. I have set it up with 20% sag and it works fine. I weigh, say, 160 pounds.

I just bought a Romic which has the same stroke as the Fox; it is equipped with a 450 pound/inch spring.

Question: Is the 450 #/In spring correct for my weight/the bike/the Romic shock?

I realize, of course, that the easy way to answer this is to bolt it on and see if I can set the sag to what I want...

Question 2: Any suggestions for initial settings for rebound and compression damping?

Thanks,

J

Uhh I ride a 350 Romic pound spring on my Joker 04, it works fine for me and i weigh 140, it's a little on the stiff side, but i like it that way for freeride and stuff. I always keep my rebound low or medium and my suspension kind of stiff.
