I'm 215lbs before breakfast. I ride about half the time with my 11 year old on the back. Is the rear Ohlins shock spring set up for this weight?
The numbers that are printed on the spring, identify the rate.
The std rate is 10mm/kg with the weight given, you would be looking at 12-13
From what I've heard, the bikes come sprung for about 180 lbs. There is a certified Ohlins shop in Hendersonville, NC. I'm taking my stuff off and getting them to respring and revavle my forks and shocks this winter. I'm at 230 now, ride with my daughter farily frequently and have to use way too much preload on my suspension. Call em and see what they say. Nice people.
