[QUOTE="skyway, post: 64846, member: 196"] I'm a little surprised to see Wilbers are still fitting this spring for your weight range of 185lb's. The numbers you have published are what I was seeing when I first got mine. Did you also feel how much the rear would squat when you were hard on the gas? FYI I went from a .95kg to 11.0kg and am now very happy. It is firm when solo, but if you get all options, dialing in the high speed compression makes the difference. I see that you mention the 11.5kg spring in your post. I think this spring will be too stiff for you, unless there's some information you have not added that would require this? I don't have all the pertenant info in front of me, but going from .95kg to 11.0kg with equal amounts of preload will give you an additional load capacity of 80lb's IIRC. If you prefer a less sporty ride and don't load up with a passenger and luggage, the 10.5kg would probably be the better choice for you. I often wonder how many other's may be unknowingly riding around on shock that is incorrectly sprung for their weight? [/QUOTE]
