I'm looking at a new bike, it comes with a coil spring. Not my first choice, but they do have some benefits.
Shock is 230 x 62.5
Using the TFT Calculator, I need a 700lbs spring... the strongest RS make is a 57.5-65mm 650.
Years ago I'd just get the 650 and wind the pre-load adjust on a bit...
Anyone think of a better solution (I'm already on a diet)

Be careful, Rockshox coil springs have a slightly wider diameter than other makes and so are not always compatible.

what bike is it for, have you got the correct figure, ie single pivot or vpp ?

Sprindex also do a 610-700 adjustable spring that would work.

preload doesn't change the overall spring rate though.
