Need Heavier Springs

Recommended Posts

I have a 2008 Beta Rev 4T. I weigh 250lbs (113kg). Obviously I need beefier front/back springs than stock. Two questions:

1. How do I determine the correct stifness of springs?

2. Where do I get them? I'll do the work in my own shop.

thanks.

TT, I just ordered the only fork spring in stock from The Splat Shop. Dims are: 365mm long by 32mm outer diameter.

Spring rate 0.9kg/mm (8.8N/mm).

Cannonracecraft can build you one, but it will cost more than the approx $80 shipped (to the US) Splat Shop price (Cannonracecraft quoted me $175 for two (didn't understand I only needed one)). I am working on dims for the shock and will likely have Cannon build that. If anyone has the factory dims on the shock spring (2008), please chime in. I assume it's a progressive spring as the shock valving is progressive. I'm guessing the rear shock needs to be in the 80N/mm range, but any info would be greatly appreciated.
