I'm loaning out my old Sunday for Interschools in a few weeks, the rider is a beginner, 55kg without kit.
It's got a Marz Roco and pre '09 Boxxers, the 32mm steel spring jobbies.
The 300lb spring in the back is about right for me at 85KG, I've got a 250 and a 200 I could put in it. The spring calculator suggests 200.
Looking back at some old RB threads on the subject, S. and Udi suggest that the quoted rider weights for the Boxxer springs of the era are a bit understated, and that the springs can support a heavier rider than what the chart says. My rider is between a white and a silver spring, but if the boys are right, we should be running a white spring.
So in summary, for my 55kg (excluding kit) beginner, does a 200lb rear spring, and a white (the softest) fork spring sound right?
