i have a 450 spring rate for my 2.75 inch stroke, i only weigh 138 so i need a 400 or a 350. if any one wants to swap please email me. bizirka@hotmail.com
i live in Renton.
If you cannot find someone to swap with you, check out Renton Coil. They make all of the Ti springs for Progressive and can probably hook you up for cheap.
I got a FOX VANILLA RC with a 700x2.8.
I think I'll need it softer since right now it has no preload or compression on it.
I know I can get one off ebay that is 650, but I would rather go local. Why aren't there big bikeswaps like skiswaps?
There is a seattle bike swap. Every year around first of feb. Used to be mostly old roadie crap but had a lot of mtb stuff last year.
As for your spring, set the spring weight based preload. You should have 20-40% sag when you are sit on your bike. If you don't have any damping, you have other problems.
Theres a buch of rocks in the gravel pit... Go fill a backpack till the spring feels fine... think of how much stronger youll be packing all that weight...
