12 stone riders - firm or medium spring? I appear to be on the boundary between the two. Anyone my weight tried both?

Ta!

I'd stick with the medium, I had a firm in mine and I'm 13st

Mine had a firm (I think, as it wasn't blue so I'm thinking it was x-firm) in them when I got them and now have the medium back in. 12st here too.

I'm 12 stone and I've tried both. I prefer the medium, even though I ride pretty hard (if I can say that about myself). The medium just gives more feel, and grip, IME.

I know a lot of people prefer the firm but it didn't work out that way for me.

16 stone and the firm is just right for me - tried x-firm and medium.

Cheers! Ironically, it turns out that after asking that I can't actually convert my air u-turns to coil anyway. So it would appear I've wasted everyone's time... Sorry!

14 stone and on an x-firm.

I think you'll want either a medium or firm depending on how much sag you like to run.

There does seem to be quite a bit of variation between springs too.
