For people who may have read/followed my posts in here before I revalved my 45mm marzocchi's off my 05 EC300 with a lot less base valve stiffness.

I have just modified the rebound stack stiffening it in a similar way to Pobit's findings/recommendations.

I checked the spring stiffness with an assembled leg by smearing grease down the leg, removing the air bleed screw and pushing down with my hands until all my weight was on the leg. I tried to do it gently so i am not bouncing on it. I measured travel = 175mm and then my weight on some scales = 80kg. This gave a spring rate of 0.46N/mm.

So I think the springs have been changed - right? I think 0.42 is standard?

So I'm pondering whether I should be changing the springs back to standard? With the curent compression set-up they seem to be working well and the extra stiffness in the rebound stack would be welcome.

Any thoughts? - what's the difference of stiffer springs and less compression damping vs weaker springs and more damping?

I should check the rear spring as well...
