Clydes on coil levos - Help!

[Crush]

Hi all, hoping someone might help.

Considering a DB coil for the levo but i'm a big fella... Just under 2m and 110kgs.

Spring calc says 650 spring but have noticed a few people running that spring around 95kilos.

Do you think it'd get to appropriate sag at my weight?

Anyone want to carry a backpack of books and sit on it to see haha

im 107 kgs and I just fitted this it has a 700llb spring and I get a perfect 30% sag with two turns of preload

Ah champion! Where the bloody hell did you find a 700 spring though?

Fox Steel Spring
or talk to TF tuned they are really good its where I got mine from

Nice one mate, thank you. What sort of shock is that exactly? Fox....?

 

[ccrdave]

its a fox van and if you go through tf tuned they are 20% off at the mo
when yiu calculate what weight you need you need to add about 6-8kgs for an ebike as there is a lot of weight on the spring before you get on it
I debated between a 700 and an 800 spring but looks like 700 is good

Thanks for the info, I'm exactly the same weight and have the same bike as @ccrdave looking at the photos, something I might consider getting myself once I've blown up the stock shock!
