that calculator just told me to get a 250 lb spring haha. I don't think so. I'll get the 350 lb and see how that rides. They really aren't that expensive anyways

did you change the weight distribution to about 70, vary the settings of the preload adjuster from 1-10 and end coil effect up a bit aswell? might help get a more resonable sounding result.

I changed the rear weight bias to 70% and it made all the difference. 350 lb seems like the right choice which is good cause I already ordered it. With 15 lbs of gear, bringing me to 160 lbs, I'll get 33% sag with just one turn of preload so that is perfect I think

WORD

if you got a 300 lb spring and ran it with 6 turns of preload youd get ~33% sag then you could add more preload to make it more freeride-ish or run it with 4 turns of preload and get 35%, then run it with a lil more compression as to get it slacker and lower.

im sure 350 will work, but thats just another idea for ya

I would never run anymore then 3 turns of preload on a spring.

Man is right^ the recomended preload is 2 full turns once it contacts on the spring the more preload the harder it is on the shock resulting in more damage. So yeah just bad idea.

so max preload is 2-3 turns without possibly damaging the shock?

Yes I did this to my DHX 4.0, I would stay with 3 max.

If you're winding up the preload you really should be on a heavier spring.

Same goes for over running compression settings.

what do you mean? its bad to run compression fully closed cause it will just feel bad or cause its bad for the shock?

Over running any adjustment that restricts oil flow in anyway will add wear to seals and such the less you have to run the better. For example one of the guys I ride with is a bit of a genious he threw this thought my way. In a boxxer rather than running the stock oil weight then maxing out the rebound speed he upped the oil weight so the rebound could be run at a lower rate and still gain the same effect with minimal seal wear resulting in less required maintnence.
