[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1436672, member: 68872"] Kim: I highly recommend that you abandon the 110 and buy a full size bike. I really doubt that you can make proper adjustments to the 110 for your weight. It isn't just a matter of the spring, the shock valving has to be adjusted as well. If you double the force of the spring and don't double the rebound absorption in the shock then you will find you are riding a pogo stick! Another issue is that the center of balance will be all off for your size. That bike is intended for a fairly short kid, not a full size adult. You have way too much weight sitting way too high on that bike. Small wheels, short wheel base, too much weight for the suspension is just asking for a trip over the handlebars. Something like a TTR-230 would be a good bike for you. They have a seat height that is low enough that you shouldn't have any trouble putting your feet on the ground. Rod [/QUOTE]
