What model are you riding (EC or Race)? Your weight? Riding level? How did you decide it was spring rate?

The conclusion of spring rate beeing wrong was based on that it felt almost ok going uphill and absolutely terrible in steeper downhills. also the the race-tech spring rate calculator for all the bikes I tried using it for recommended ~4.9 N/mm. So front are now 5.0 N/mm, rear 60 N/mm. Funny thing was, that with the front springs too soft I could hardly feel what was happening in the rear. Now I can feel a change with two clicks on rebound. With the fornt springs at 4.5 N/mm, my hands were so badly hammered it took out all the fun in riding. |

Berger: You might want to look at your mid-valve to lessen hand thrashing. I pulled a .2 x25 out of the mid-valve and replaced it with a .1x24. Increased float by 0.1 and reduced the overall rate of the mid-valve stack.
Trial by fire today - much better action on yet another gnarly rooted- and rutted course ... until I ran over my tongue I usually don't do suspension adjustments in the middle of a race but I stopped to back off the rear HS compression 1/4 turn as well. I wasn't alone either ... at one point or another I think half the racers were in for adjustments.
