fork springs/preload * points to ponder*

[QUOTE="Braahp, post: 316274, member: 21441"] A fellow DRN'er sent me a very cool spreadsheet that calculates spring force versus travel. You can change preload and spring rates. Takes a bunch of the guess work out. Take for instance.....did you know that your STOCK .36kg springs with stock spacer giving you 25 mm of preload is actually stiffer than a .40kg spring with 10mm preload all the way up to 125mm of fork travel. This about 2/3 of the travel. Then all the way out to 170mm of travel the .40kg spring is only has 4 more lbs. force. Interesting huh? I never imagined using the stock spacer would give such results. No wonder Fredette recommends lighter springs and oem preload. It all makes sense to me now. [/QUOTE]
