Looking to purchase a coil for the LTc and was wondering about which spring I would need.
I've used the TFT calculator and it states a 400lbs (actually 397) but i have read that on a DHX4 or RC4 you should go 1 weight down.
I use the LTc as my bigger bike and will still keep the air shock for when a coil is just not necessary but don't want to get a spring which is too light as I still want the bike to go up hill and not fear bottoming out.
Im 12.5st without kit so whadda' you reckon?
Just phone Tftuned i found them really helpfull. Much easier than fannying around with the calendar.
I run a nomad with a coil shock (dhx5). Spring weight at moment is 450, bike rides fine both up and down although i suspect it would perform better with a 400 (well on the downs anyway). Body weight is 13 stone.
See if you can pick up a couple of cheap steel springs at different weights and experiment.
ill give TFT a call but i reckon ill be going for the 400lbs.
Thanks guys
