a lesson learned
Re: a lesson learned
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.

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).bikingagain wrote:Isn't there a saying about living in a glass house and throwing rocks?

Re: a lesson learned
.50 is the biggest off the shelf spring I have found for the WP 48mm open/closed.
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.
Cutting and spacing the RaceTechs is not recommended (spring bind at full compression).
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.malcolmzilla wrote:.50 is the biggest off the shelf spring I have found for the WP 48mm open/closed.

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
