If the exact spring isn't available, I would go for the next size up, as this will give the damper a bit of a easier time, as a softer spring will cause the damper to travel futher and have a quicker response. which will need extra settings to dial out. Ideal situation is to get the right spring for your weight/riding style and get the shock valved to suit. You may find the Ohlins daming settings and hence the envelope it operates in will cope with a 10% increase in spring rate. |
