What sort of spring rate are people using?
I'm running a 225lb in mine. As is someone else I know.
We both ride two up a lot, and run reverse cone cans. With a passenger on, there's barely any movement left for going over bumps.
Are other people using a fatter spring? Or, just living with the banging off the bump stop?

None of us is a big fat oik. 13 1/2 stone for rider. Tops of 9 1/2 stone for passenger.

I realise the obvious answer is to get a proper shock.. Never-the-less..

Is a bigger spring the answer? One of us is worried about paintwork (not me)

edit for spelling. 17th beer.

Why not just turn the compression screw up.When fully in it's near impossible to compress the damper.I have a 175 lb spring on a GP and just turn up the screw on the reservoir when carrying a passenger.

I thought putting a 180 spring was about right for a single rider and the 225 spring was the original one. I'm thing of giving the 225 one ago on a current project, if anyone else has tried it?
