[QUOTE="skyway, post: 81743, member: 196"] Not trying to defend Wilbers here, but the point they were trying to make may have had to do with sag numbers. With 8mm of available travel on the remote option, you will probably not see the correct sag numbers when loaded up with passenger etc, vs solo. Trying to get a spring to compensate for an additional say 150lb's with only 8mm of additional preload is asking a lot. Now saying that, I have been very happy with my 11.0kg spring solo and 2-up. It is firm during high speed bumps during solo rides, but I just compensate with a little less hi-speed compression. [/QUOTE]
