Anybody know how to determine what spring I would need for a Pike?

I'm trying to be serious, can't tell you what spring you will need if I can't get a serious answer.

usually what happens is you write back.

Isn't there a guide or something?

 

[stosh]

Nevermind, it says extra firm over 180lbs. FAWK!

Anybody know where to get them cheap?
If not I'll just continue to talk to myself.

I got mine from aebike.com it was cheaper than anyone else. $30.00 I think.

COOL, thats the first place I looked.

I paid $30 at my LBS. You're probably not going to find them on line for much cheaper.

Hey Sorgie, which Transition do you ride. I've recently grown fond of the Grand Mal and Dirt Bag. Got pix?

GrandMalBoy doesn't sound right though...

I have the Preston. I don't have any great pics here at "work". Here is a link to a decent picture.

I asked the shop to order me one, along with some other stuff from BTI and 2 1/2 weeks later he still hadn't done it. I think he might have Tuesday. If he didn't, it's online I go.

Stosh, one more thing to consider. I'm not sure how close to 180 you are, but I was at the border between "standard" and "firm" at 160.
The standard was good for normal riding, but on bigger hits with the compression fully open it would bottom hard. I ended up going to the firm. Now I am at the minimum recommended sag and I still use full travel, but I haven't bottomed hard.

So if you are close to 180 and aren't bottoming hard most of the time you may want to go with a "firm" instead of an "X-firm".

I'm tossing this one to my LBS, he's real good about ordering stuff.

No, I blew past 180 a long time ago!!

I think xtra firm is the way to go for me. Hard to believe I've been riding a standard for a year.

 

[JRB]

I'm 200 and going with xtra firm.

How did your PIKE servicing go?
