Ok guys

Quick q for everyone....got a Norco 6 with a 2004 Fox Vanilla RC shock on the rear set up for 6" travel.

Thing is I think the spring is too light (500x2.30) for me and therefore I need to upgrade the spring (any suggestions but thought a 600 would be about right for me at 168lbs/12st) to bring the sag rates within the usual limits and so I dont bottom the thing out when riding it hard.

Problem I have is that I cannot find anywhere except Fleabay to buy a spring from. CRC dont have fox spring but have others....are these compatible??? Where can you buy the springs from in the UK?

HELP!!!

    put your info into a Spring calculator TF have one as do Mojo. and work out what rate you want.

    from above but note you need the correct ID for your shock.

    They also sell springs.Worth giving them a Bell as Manitou springs fit Fox shox and are about 60% cheaper.
