How to Accurately Calculate What Spring Rate You Need
@owl-X: The calculators are still very helpful. It is one thing that does make some folks hesitant to run coils. It is a bit more intensive to set up properly for riders versus taking a shock pump out on the first ride and making small tweaks.
I am one that thinks coil shocks typically outperform air so the inconvenience of set up is less significant. Except on bikes where its a PITA to remove the shock to swap the spring.

How to Accurately Calculate What Spring Rate You Need
It is also worth noting that spring rates are rounded. Springs are rarely ever exactly 450lb or 500lb. They are within a percentage, up to 10% +/-. This can mean you get a 450 spring and a 500 spring and they are identical or actually the 450 is firmer than the 500.

Good Month / Bad Month: Racing Announcements, Business Deals, an Online Scam & Litigation - January 2022
Yeah a ton of shifters and cassettes can. Wheels and frames not so much. That $14,000 shipping increase for a container of 200 frames, that's an added cost of $70 per frame. A 40' container can hold roughly 400 sets of wheels, that's $35 per wheelset. So shipping just added $105 COGs per frame/wheelset. That does not include suspension, brakes, or the rest of the build. It does add up.

We tried. We tried REALLY hard to source that paint. I do not believe it was environmentally friendly so it has been discontinued. We tried to get it.

@TEAM-ROBOT: Apologies, I had the opportunity to ride it before it was a hardpacked trail when it was covered in decomposed organic matter such as tree bark and pine needles that provided a similar feeling to powder skiing :)
