Just picked up a glory dh and am trying to dial in the spring rate. Have searched high and low, only yielding some BS pinkbike post.

I'm about 170-175 fully suited. TF is telling me around 350 or so, but that seems pretty low.

What do you weigh/run?

Thanks yall

hey man im about the same weight as you all suited up and i run a obtainium TI spring #425 and for me it feels awesome. I actually run a 350 for a bit to test and it sat nicely in the turns but it was just to low of a spring rate for me. maybe ill throw a 350 on this weekend and do a few fun runs to see how it is again since its been 9 months.

i'm 170 on a Elka with a DSP ti 400# spring which is what Elka recomended and seems perfect.

I'm 165 lbs. without gear and run a 425 spring rate, tried a 450 and it was good too.
The 425 was more plush but, I could ride either. I would say go for the 450 if you are over 170lbs.

I'm 190lbs and run a Mojo Titanium 350 on the standard DHX 5.0, size Large. Gives me about 35% Sag. (1 inch reduction in eye to eye). Sounds like a couple of you guys must be running 25%-30% sag.

I put an o-ring on the shaft of my DHX to properly measured sag for a few different springs on my glory. This is hard because you have to keep removing the shock from the frame to take the measurements but I wanted to get my suspension setup dialled so.....

I am 195 lbs in full riding gear, 350 lb spring gave me 36% sag and a 400 lb spring gave me 33% sag. I kept the 400.

This is actual measured sag the way you should do it not this "yo I ran 450 and it felt sick bro get one" crap.

My 400 lb spring gives me exactly 33% sag on my Yeti 303R too, its marked on the rail so its very easy to set up.

your bike is neither a DW link nor a single pivot.....


TFT recomends a 381 lb spring for you with a non-CVT shock.
