Rear shock calculator

Does anyone have any links to rear shock calculators. I remember one that you put in the shock stroke, eye to eye and rider weight and it calculated the spring weight for you but, my pc died with the bookmarks:-(

Thanks

the mojo isn't 10% of what the other one is that exists on this site. It can be found with the search function, i've found it. It does things like weight bias, intended usage, preload, progression, etc...In its most up-to-date form it is really darn close too.
I believe this is what you're looking for Pherret...

Not sure if the one I linked is the most updated version though

Jm, since you're familiar with the above calculator, can you explain the "end-coil effect" thingy mentioned in simpler terms?? Just curious to learn more..
Btw, I used both the Mojo calculator and the link above and both yielded pretty similar results for me (within 10% of each other)... just my own speculation, but the difference may arise cos' I think Mojo recommends running with around 33% sag as opposed to Fox's recommended 25%?
