Title: Spring Rate
Post by: Tracker on June 14, 2009, 03:54:47 PM

Hi I borght my PoweriZers off ebay and the guy selling said they were an M60 spring but without any instructions I am not sure of the actual weight. All i can see is the number 82 written on the spring. Does this sound about right or do i have a set of M80s?


Thanks

Andy

Now heres my dilema I weigh 9stone 10pounds. Do I stick with these and go hardcore and just learn to jump hard or am I just too underpowered to do that? Should I try and get some softer springs.

yep, i started on really soft 60s (i'm about 62kg), and it took me a few weeks of actually using them to bottom them easily, +a set of T-rexes, and took a few months to be (almost) bottoming them, it's all personal technique, so if you keep practising then you can be on the top weight springs and still be as light as a feather
