Newbie! Trance SX E + 0 Pro Standard Spring Rate settings

[steve06]

Could anyone tell me the standard Spring rate and/or the recommended rider weight for the standard Spring? Bought the bike today, I tried it in the Showroom and it felt a little soft ..im 95kg, i wound up the pre load and it made it better but i cant find a manual online for the static sag etc. I pick it up Sunday and cant wait! Great Forum BTW

My lbs set it all up for me

At that weight i would suggest a 650lb spring. I'm 77kg and run either a 500 or 550 on my Trance e. You really don't want to use too much preload as it affects the performance. The more preload the more force required to move shock = less small bump. To set sag measure the eye to eye length when on the bike (easier with a second person) subtract that number from 185 (the eye to eye of the shock) divide the answer by 52.5 (the stroke of the shock) and that will give you your sag percentage. I would aim for 28-30%
