fox vanilla forx springs

[junior]

wats the hardest spring u can get and how much does it cost.

[Glenn]

i think i have heard of 650 but not sure, do you have a spring at the momment that is to soft, could be willing to trade, i have a 600 just laying around that is never used. i think they sell fox springs for like $140+

my mate has a 700 on his fox vanilla tc(rc) dont ono if u can buy them i think you would so im not sure on a cost.

Do you people even read topics before replying? He's asking about vanilla FORX springs, FORX not rear shocks ffs.

Anyway...straight from the '02 manual;
The hardest full travel range (80-125mm) spring is the Yellow 45lb/in spring
The hardest spring you can get is the Red 75lb/in spring but it's reccommended for 80 or 100mm settings only.

Get your LBS to give Dirtworks a call, they should be able to hook you up with prices.

i will read the 04 manual soon and see what it says !!

the forks are stanstard and im only 51kg and they always bottom out

[Ty]

Gromet, i run the same forks, with the medium springs (blue or purple i think ) and i weigh about 80kgs, i've only ever bottom them on harsh g-out landings/drops, for normal riding and jumps i've never had a problem, you have to remember the fox forks do have a much different action that alot of SC forks on the market due way the speed sensative valving works (my forks seem to have to very different feels depending on how fast your hitting stuff)

you may wanna check you are using the correct amount of oil in the compression/rebound side (30mls) and make sure your spacers are set-up right for your travel setting (check both legs, not just the rebound side)


or maybe your just off your head and are going really really big and need super heavy springs.

there on full travel and i've made the cable tie on the slider go 2mm from where the crown starts

[tu plang]

are u sure ur only 51kg or is that just wat ur mum tells her friends :P sorry, u'll have to excuse me... im in a good mood atm.
but to be helpful how much preload are u running? have u tried hitting some big stuff with different preload settings?

[junior]

im 13 thats why im 51kg
and i've tried every thing

[Ty]

seriously though, check you spacers and oil level, you may be geting full travel but if the spacers are wrong you get a dead zone where only one of the 2 springs is actualy working as much as it should be and you'll blow through your travel.

[junior]

ok
i think i'll just take it to my LBS

[Ty]

did you buy the forks new? coz if you did you should of gotten 3 sets of springs in the box.

[junior]

yeah i bought them new but i didnt get the box or a manual

[Ty]

yeah i bought them new but i didnt get the box or a manual

that sounds pretty shady to me, i'd ask who ever you got the forks off for you manual and springs.

[junior]

are u sure cause if u are il be strait bak there

[Ty]

well i've owned 2 sets of fox forks which i purchased new and they came with springs and manuals, one of my friends jst got a 2nd hand pair and she got spare springs and a manual too.

[junior]

ok thanks for that
