View Full Version : rear spring
i got a new DH comp in the last few weeks and im still getting used to all the adjustments cos i didnt have much on my old ATX 2DH. the back end however feels a bit slow i suppose you could say. its got the manitou swinger 6 way which has a 350 pound spring i think, and i was wandering if people think its worth going for a stronger spring, keeping in mind i weigh about 96kgs? any suggestions? cheers

Yeah, defiantly get a heaver spring. I'm around 62kg's and ran a 400lb spring when I had a DH Comp. 450lb should be about right...

350 is way to soft. im about 82KG and i run a 450. You should be running about
a 500 spring this will be perfect for your weight.To be sure Check out this web site they have a spring calculator. www.mojosuspension.com

yeah, figured as much. 350 is just what the thing came with and i wanted to get used to it and get it dialed in a bit before i started spending more money on it. cheers guys. does anyone know if theres a website or somewhere i could pick one up for the manitou in oz?
