Hello Nick,
No Problem, in your mail before you sais that the bike with 10 mm static SAG feels a little bit too stiff. I won't advice you a stiffer spring yet. We have, if you still want to. Please drive first with a little less preload, 2mm less. (Static SAG of 15 mm, can you please measure the springlength in this situation.) If the bike feels a little to stiff, count your clicks (rebound damping) by turning them clockwise, to closed position. If it was set on 20, open it with 5 clicks more to 25 clicks.
There's also an O-ring on the spindle, slide this to the top of the shock (away from the bumprubber). If you drive with 15 mm static SAG and 20 or 25 clicks rebound, hits the O-ring after this ride the bumprubber or how much space is left between the O-ring and bumprubber? And, when you drive the full stroke, do you feel the bump?
If you drive normal, and use the full stroke we have a stiffer spring (number 1220, with a springcup -10 mm). This spring is also progressive, and we also have some linear springs, but I think you want a progressive spring on your bike.
SP-MO-1220 Spring (or)
SP-MO-1220B Spring Black
3D-46-30-110 Spring platform -10 mm.
I hope I've informed you well.
