[QUOTE="Klunkshift, post: 75151, member: 1789"] Got some interesting information from Wilbers (Klaus) today regarding the rear shock spring. I will use my spring to illustrate the numbers. I am about 200lb ready to ride. 95/95 diameter related numbers (not clear) 95 Spring rate Nmm 165 Spring free length mm AA 328 mm Eye to eye length of shock This brings up an interesting issue. The 165mm variable, in combination with the spring rate, will make a big difference on the initial force mobilized by the spring and can't be neglected. In other words, it is not only about spring rate. A shorter spring will evidently start at a lower force than a longer spring. [/QUOTE]
