I have a 06 medium as-x w/ 170mm 66rc2x.
I weigh around 170 w/o gear.
with the stock 450# spring I had about 50% sag. my LBS had an 550# spring which they replaced for free, now I have around 28% sag with preload fully opened. according to Yeti's recommanded spring rates 550# is too much for me, but the 450# was too much sag. as far as I understand 50# difference doesn't really matters.. (also sag seems to be good anyway right now anyway..)
i emailed both yeti and fox, yeti keep saying i need a 450# spring and fox said 500# for the 7.1" travel settings and 450# for the 6.4".
my setup is medium rebound, 125psi, about 1 turn bottom out and 4 click propedal.
the rear feels a little bit stiff for my taste, atlease when statically sitting and playing with it.
on the fast or rocky traills I can feel the dhx working but on the more 'am' stuff it doesn't feel that plush.. any advice how to setup it better?
and do i need to replace to a lighter spring? (is it possible that the stock 450# spring was mislabeled or something like that and it wasn't really an 450# ?)
