you can use their calculator to customize your spring rate G

I think the proper sag is more important than custom spring rates for most riders.Few riders know how to do it properly....Not that I think you have that issue :thumbup:

Perhap we should add a section here for howto's beyond the FAQ for basic setup,just a thought
Also spacers can be used to raise the pre-load on most forks

There's no problem so bad that a little fixing can't make it worse! : )

Correct for all riders! If your static and loaded sags are both correct, you have the right spring. If one of the sags is wrong, the only fix is to change the spring.

For you, something like a 0.90kg/mm spring would be a good place to start.
