So my shop just got my 303 for the season.

It came with a 500lb spring.

I am 230 with gear.

Anyone have any idea of what I should be running for a spring rate on this? Its so much more complex then the single pivot or the VPP stuff I am used to, so I am trying to get this right if I can.

Thanks Ill. I am pretty lazy, hence why I am 230.

Once I have it built there will be photos.
And There Will Be Blood.

Oh dear, I have bought a 350 ti spring based on Mojo's spring calculator for my 85kg weight...

Now I see this link and I should really have a 500.

I'm going to have to wait and see what its like built up....

That link the OP posted up was for the 303 only, not for a Mojo.

I think you'll find that Mojo is, in fact, a suspension service centre...
I also have a 303.
Apparently their spring calculator is different to Yeti's.

I am 255lb with gear and titanium 550lb spring was not firm enough for my yeti 303. I have gotten myself 600lb from TFTuned and I am about to test it at Cwmcarn next weekend.

I'm 5'10", 225 this morning (really good poo).

I just don't wear the extra 35lbs well.
The Vandals put it best: I've got an ape drape.

However, I am in the process of fixing that issue.

I think I am going to rock the 550 like I did last year on a different bike
