Title: New springs????????
Post by: Wally247 on May 25, 2008, 12:02:01 AM
Hi guys and galls

i just started bottoming out my pjs in one foot after just over a month on them... so i thought i would test the water (so as to put it) as to what are the best springs to get next...

i currently have 80's and was looking for something higher...

could i put 7's in my pjs??

and if so which 7's should i go for???

any feed back would be apprieciated

thanks c

to start with how much what springs are you on and what is your body weight?

i am curently on 80s, im 17 and just under 6'. and i weigh just around 70k

ill be saving up for springs so cost isnt soo important as im willing to wait to have better springs in the long run.

Sounds like you could do with a pair of 90's  :-\
10-20Kg over your weight is a good rule of thumb

think 90's will be suitable for you, as I am 64kgs and can almost bottom out my 90's half of the time, the springs for 7's is T-rex which have a weight range of 70 to 90kgs

nothing for me dk, I am testing the different spring brands out, to see how they all fair against each other  :nana: springs are the same thing, so they are all mountable on a PJ frame

when iv asked people at meets they seem to think that the 7's are easier to jump on and more springy?

originaly posted on here firstly to find out what weight people would suggest and secondly to find out what the best springs arround are and if there is much differrance lol  :nana:

 :biggrin: :biggrin: also T-rex spring sound cooler  :nana: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Depends on your technique, your jumping ability, and how often you use them. In short, there is no straight answer.
