am soon to be joining the homer ranks, with a 6pack. i've got a choice of a 400 or 500 spring on the DHX-C. I weigh 152lb, and would estimate that riding kit comes in around 10lb (is this the ballpark with a camelback?). Using a 'x3' for the 3:1 ratio, that calculates a spring of 483, which i guess i would round up to the 500.
but, i've not yet discovered the delights of hucking so won't be bottoming out regularly, and would rather run plush. plus the fork will be a pike, so i don't want to have the ride height jacked at the back and making the HA any steeper.
maybe i'm just worrying over nothing, but i've only ever had air shocks before, and want to get this right.
cheers for any advice.
