Hey, so I need a few suggestions as far as spring rate goes.
First of all, I weigh 140-145 naked and I'm running a 450# spring on a DHX on a 2005 Demo 8. I want to match my X-soft Boxxer spring on an 06 Team. I'm debating a 350 and a 400. TF Tuned says 342 for 33% sag and 363 for a firmer feel. I'm worried that if I go to a 350 it'll be too big of a change and wallowy feeling in the back compared to the front.
Second, my friend is on a Demo 9 with a Swinger and a 350# spring and there's way way too much sag. He weighs 170 naked. I think a 450 would probably be appropriate. Again, TF Tuned recommends around a 350 for firm FR, but that thing is WAY too much sag as is.
Third, another friend is on a 2005 Enduro Expert running a DHX coil to be just like an SX Trail. He's running a 450 spring currently and is also thinking about downsizing to a 400. He weighs 130.
Any suggestions for these 3 bikes? Thanks a lot in advance.
