Romic springs
- Thread starter Stab
- Start date
You can get them from Romic if you can get a hold of them, they are the same spring that avalanche uses so you can see if they have one that'll fit.. The spring weight is going to depend on the frame.
I'm 155 and have a 450lb spring on my romic on a bullit if that helps.
Call Avalanche, getting a hold of Romic right now is absolutly impossible. Roger is currently NOT doing anything with MTN bikes, untill further notice. AVy springs are teh same size, and same price.

Wait Romic is shut down?? Why?? What if i need my shock rebuilt?
Romic is still servicing and custom building shocks for bikes. The main focus is for custom cars but they will still help you out. Try calling on Tuesdays, Roger has a part time helper that goes to college working on bike shocks. Rebuilds are still under $40.
I'd trade either a 300 or a 350 for the 450 or both with a trade and $10.

you should be good with 450 , i weight a little bit more than 160 and have a 450 romic with no problems.
Just to make it clear... Romic is still doing shocks for MTB. We have springs and still doing service.
Thanks

I just got my Romic back from a rebuild 3 or so weeks ago and its butter! Such a difference- I can't believe I didn't get it rebuilt earlier.
i need to get mine rebuilt so badly! but i still love it nonetheless!
as for springs, you can also run a Rockshox Vivid spring on the Romic, when i needed a stiffer spring, thats what i did and it works fine... all you need to worry about is the inner diameter of the spring, if it is 1.5" youre fine.
yes, avalanche springs are the same too... theyre all metal right?:biggrin:
i'm 185-190lbs geared and i run a 450# spring with my super blown Romic on a Rotec RL9... it still bottoms like no tomorrow, but i set it up for that either way. i know that once i get the shock rebuilt it wont be as lazy and thick feeling... it definitley wasnt when i first rode it!

One more thing to add, Maybe Roger can chime back in of this if things have changed, Romics, when setup properly, will usually be able to bottom in the parking lot fairly easily, but once on the trail and your using the shock, the reactor valve makes the shopck really come alive. Talked to Roger about this years ago at Fontana, I was having issues with the setup, and Roger was the one telling me to run a softer spring, and it worked great!!!
Roger, I am very happy to see you posting, and announcing that we can still get service, my question is, whats the best way for us to contact, I have sent a couple emails without responce. I would really really like to get mine rebuilt, its in pretty bad shape.
