[QUOTE="155810958, post: 1000757, member: 57086"] tptp - very nice explanation, thanks. Interesting, that you are 175#, and front free sag is 1", race sag 3" with .40 springs. Mine: Front free sag 11/8", race sag 2" with stock springs! (.35 I think). I weigh about 165# with gear. Based on this I don't think I should use stiffer front springs in spite of what everyone says. The rear I can "bring in" by increasing preload - both free sag and race sag are too high. Conventional wisdom from the posts is that the stock rear is too stiff, but that doesn't seem to be the case for me. Still, going over a set of whoops you have to pull up on the bars hard and gas it or the back seems to climb, or the front drops (front wheel landings) which makes me think the rear is too stiff and/or the front too soft, like everyone says. Maybe I just need to "suck it and see", and make changes. but springs aren't cheap, and I hate to change parts without understanding why. [/QUOTE]
