275 bit to light i think, but it feels so good over rocks and it pedals awsome, I want about a 350 or 375.O yeah, what rate of spring are you running on yours? I'd be a similar weight to you and I'm running a 425lbs...mine feels slightly hard but not too bad.
If i put the seat down anymore i will tyrer puzz and what rock if you mean rock gap i did it like 10 times today.Put your seat down it's too high. And do the rock while your at it!!
Take it like a man/leave the seat up, dont be a wimp.
