Anyone able to look up a eibach shock rate?

[scubacat]

The eibach spring has 16730 on it. I googled it any was not able to get a good hit. Need to know what weight of rider it is rated for.

Thanks

if you just pay for shipping, I'll measure it on our digital spring rate tester for free.

I love that instrument....looking for any excuse to use it.

PM me if you don't have an early one

Need a spring rated for a 220 lb rider. The one I have on my new to me Penske shock now is WAY to stiff. I went for a ride the other day and thought I was going to need a chiropractor when all was said and done...

The Eiback is on the Sachs I had taken off. The Penske shock has a penske spring on it.

we got the Intercomp setup with fork spring adaptors too

I'll look to see if we have a known 04+ Sach shock spring to test.

Ok...found out that it is rated for 600lbs. Now...how do I tell if that is an appropriate for me?

[CP598]

600 should be just about right for your weight, maybe just a bit stiff but still acceptable.

600 in/lb beat me to death @175lbs....PM Scott2ride, i think he is the same weight

my current rear spring is an Ohlins 1091-24/80
its 457 in/lb
i have a 1091-21/75 which is 428 in/lb that i want to try, when i have the time

DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A RECOMMENDATION!!!!!

i was a frame designer/fabricator and test rider for F.W. Egli, its what i like....you might not

another thing, my rear damping on the resprung stock Sachs is WAY less than stock, comp 1.5, me 2.5, rebound stock 20 clicks, me 35 clicks

my sag is like everyone's, but the light spring needs more preload to get there

it works for me, i've been doing this for a long time.....
i will never sell my RSV unless i wad it, and then i'll just get another one.....and set it up the same....or maybe make a tube frame instead of the beer can one.....lol
