Mike what springs do you have in your bike? and what's your weight geared up? I haven't decided what springs I'm going to run yet, this information might help with my decision.

Isn't there a saying about living in a glass house and throwing rocks? :smirk:

How do you think I know it's not the boots? Experience, that's how. Besides I'm pretty sure I can throw rocks farther than Dobi (he throws like a girl).

.50 is the biggest off the shelf spring I have found for the WP 48mm open/closed. :confused:
I think the .50's will be OK in the Berg CC 's, but the Christini open need like 54's. WR has 52's and juuuust right like little bear's porridge. :D
Cutting and spacing the RaceTechs is not recommended (spring bind at full compression). :excuse:
LMK if you find 'em bigger than .50!

Ian stocks many over .50 kg and if he's out, it takes a short time to restock.

He orders custom rates all the time, and I don't think .54 wold be a problem.

call him or let me know what you need
