hey guys

have been recently setting my bike up properly *an 06 cove peeler*

and have been running the stock spring from the old frame * a 450 pound spring*

this spring is way to stiff for the ride im trying to achieve

i have the chance to get a few new springs

but here are my questions

1. would manitou springs fit?
2. would manitou revox springs fit?
3. would 5th element progressive springs fit?



i have used the online spring rate calculators and have
been given the magic number of 306 pounds i have rounded it down to a 300 pound spring.

if someone could get back to me a.s.ap it would be great fully appreciated


kind regards zac

I know 5th and regular manitou springs work. Dunno about the revox tho.

Yeah 5th or manitou fit.

You must be fairly light to need that spring on the Cove. Remember that you should weigh yourself with your full riding kit on too.
