#498657 donelam304 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 620 i need a beefier rear suspension 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Ok. Here goes. While riding in the Run For The Wall ride with my bag and wife. No pun there. Lol. I noticed on several occasions that my bike was bottoming out in some dips. Anyone know of something i can do to fix this. I weigh about 270lbs, wife is about 200lbs, and bag was about 50lbs...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #498660 sigmund (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 282 Re:i need a beefier rear suspension 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   A progressive spring would be my suggestion.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #498665 donelam304 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 620 Re:i need a beefier rear suspension 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Would i just replace the stock spring with the progressive spring? That sounds too good to be true.

Bottoming out, bouncing all over the road, just wasn't safe/fun to ride. Bought a Progressive #465 shock, life is good   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #498671 donelam304 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 620 Re:i need a beefier rear suspension 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Thanks again y'all...

World of difference. Not just the spring, but the damping also is like night & day.   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat. A dog. I have a bike. Do you like TV? I saw a rock.
