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 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".

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.
