Update, when I took it apart, the spring rates were different than I remembered.


F 125/175

R 125/150


So, I decided to update the numbers using Matts formula.


Left Front

T - 14 - 10.0625 = 3.9375 x 125 = 492.19

B - 13.9375 - 11.1875 = 2.75 x 175 = 481.25


492.19 + 481.25 = 973.44 / 2 = 486.72



Right Front

T - 13.75 - 9.5 = 4.25 x 125 = 531.25

B - 13.9375 - 10.75 = 3.1875 x 175 = 557.8125


531.25 + 557.8125 = 1,089.0625 / 2 = 544.531



Left rear

T - 13.875 - 12.625 = 1.25 x 125 = 156.25

B - 13.75 - 12.5 = 1.25 x 150 = 187.5

156.25 + 187.5 = 343.72 / 2 = 171.86



Right rear

T - 13.625 - 11.5625 = 2.0625 x 125 = 257.81

B - 13.875 - 12.25 = 1.625 x 150 = 243.75

257.81 + 243.75 = 501.56 / 2 = 250.78


That is a total sprung weight of 1769.  Still cannot believe the numbers, I see no way the single seater can be that far off left to right.


So after all this.  Rock Mafia seemed to have the most logic, no math.




So I bumped it up a little cause DragBody did  and went 175/250[tarzan nut swinging yell].


Rear I went with Rock Mafia at 125/200.


I rolled the O rings down on the bump stops and when I got back.  Left front had 1" left and right had 1/2", so the front did not bottom out.


Rear did bottom out a little in a couple of washes, so I went up to 150/200.


I have not ridden with new rear. I think I am closer now.


As to the stops, I am going to stay without them for now.  Easier for me to change up as I don't have a nitrogen setup.


So now:


F - 175/250

R - 150/200
