Hi all, rebuilding bike after 3 weeks of being apart and can’t remember how the spacers sit .
I’ve put them 3 below clamp and 1 above.
Can someone please clarify this is the Correct setup please?
Many thanks
Let me know how you get on?
I didn’t have any issues with mine.
I spoke to specialized and tf tuned before I ordered to make sure I got the correct spring for bike and rider.
The ttx 22m has the 2.5” stroke.
Slightly different spring diameter depending on tention on spring.
Mine turned up...
The spring is exactly the same.
Just checked part number of my old spring. 18074 -10 457lbs spring
18074-13 525 lbs spring
Same part number apart from the last two . Thats to do with spring rate.
You won’t hsve any issues with new spring.
Exactly the same ?
the ttx is also used on the enduro and the spring rate would be the same.
Obviously the weight of the bike is different but the lbs of the spring will be the same.
I believe the spring rate goes up in 23 lbs increments.
As I said I previous posts.
Spring had to be wound right in to a...
I spoke to a specialist who supplied the ohlins springs.
I had the 457 lbs spring on my medium Kenevo and the sag was well off.
They suggested the 525 lbs spring which stated on the chart.
Fitted 525 lbs spring and could get correct sag within 2 complete turns of adjuster on coil which it’s...
Hi Davajn, so there is a 100 kg spring or a 108 kg spring.
I’d suggest the 108 spring, with your full riding kit you’ll be around that weight.
The 108 spring is the 605 lbs.
Will make a massive difference on the way the bike rides. Hope this helps.
Hi Villho, on the 457 lbs spring, it was wound pretty much to the end of adjustment to achieve that sag.
On the 525 lbs spring, I wound the the adjuster down so I had slight tension on spring and then two complete turns achieving 28% sag.
That 457 lbs spring is designed for 11stone 2 rider...
Evening all, just a quick update after fitting the new uprated coil spring.
I can safely say it’s transformed the handling in every sense but seeming I was nearly 3 stone over recommended weight ? I can see why.
First off, my 457lbs coil would achieve 28% sag when spring wound right up.
Can...
Hi again, I’ve decided to buy the updated spring for the ohlins.
Checking the correct ohlins chart, that 457 spring is set for a 11 stone rider! Unfortunately the last time I jumped on the scales and seen that weight, I was probably 13 years old!
With the sag set to 30% , spring is wound...
Cheers villho, that makes total sense.
Thanks for clearing that up. Been bugging me for a while now ?
As for the spring rate, it feels ok but I’m a little concerned I’m over 2 stone on spring rate recommendation.
B.B will be too low!
Cheers again
Guys, got a question for you. I’m probably being stupid!
Front suspension has 180m travel. You measure it, you can see it has 180 travel.
The rear coil , I can’t see how it’s 180 m travel when it’s only got a 2.5” stroke!
180m is 7.5 inch’s.
Am I missing something? Is it measured as the...
