Another Sonic Spring thread

[alke46]

Doing the entire suspension upgrade this week. Have put on new Hagon shocks on the rear and am ready to do the front end.

My concern is whether I have the wrong springs or not. I bought the 1.1 but am now thinking I should have gotten the 1.0..... Will it make a drastic difference or is it something that I will learn to get used to? Will the 1.1 be way too stiff or not?

Thanks

Your weight and riding style would be a big help in determining the answer to your question

After meeting him and watching him ride a couple of weeks ago, I would say they are both "adequate AND advanced".

Larry, set the preload correctly and stick with 10w oil, you should be fine.

Geared up for riding, I will hit around 210# -- when I get the opportunity I like to ride aggressively. Not much opportunity unless I leave my home area though.

Steve, not quite sure how to take that.

What I meant was that your gravitational attraction was a bit more "advanced" than the typical 160-pounder for which the bike was probably designed, and your riding style was also a bit "advanced", certainly a bit more than mine.

No offense intended there, just stating that your weight and riding style would both justify the stouter springs.

OK then, we're cool.
