REAR SHOCK SPRINGS
Recommended Shock Spring Rate (for me 14 stone): 17.3 kg/mm (use closest available)
You can get the Newton force by multiplying the Mass and the Acceleration. F = m.a,
So in this case the Acceleration is the Gravity which is 9.8 m/s. and the Mass is the Spring rate given
The answer is F = 17.3kg X 9.8m/s = 169.54N
So ideal spring for me Solo would be 170N so very happy with the 170-175 spring,
To get a kg rate of a spring for a listed Newton force simply divide the Newton Force by Gravity
So
175N/mm / 9.8m/s = 17.8kg/mm
170N/mm / 9.8m/s = 17.3kg/mm
So what is a Spring Rate??? A Spring rate is the number of kg or Newton needed to move the spring by 1 mm (or inch if you use lb rating).
Here are some pre worked out spring rates for the rear shock for road use on a Firestorm
To work out what spring rate suits what rider weight you have to then factor in the shock linkage ratio, the weight of the bike, the weight distribution of the bike and the type of riding. Then you add the rider weight (in full riding gear). These are results calculated by the Racetech site, i have added the N/mm and lb/in data using conversion rates
Stock Rear Shock Spring Rate: 16.4 kg/mm = 160.8 N/mm = 918.3 lb/in
9 stones = 15.55 kg/mm = 152.3 N/mm = 870.7 lb/in
10 = 15.9 kg/mm = 155.8 N/mm = 890.3 lb/in
11 = 16.25 kg/mm = 159.2 N/mm = 909.9 lb/in
12 = 16.6 kg/mm = 162.8 N/mm = 929.5 lb/in
13 = 16.95 kg/mm = 166.1 N/mm = 949.1 lb/in
14 = 17.3 kg/mm = 169.5 N/mm = 968.7 lb/in
15 = 17.65 kg/mm = 172. 9N/mm = 988.3 lb/in
16 = 18 kg/mm = 176.4 N/mm = 1007.5 lb/in
17 = 18.35 kg/mm = 179.8 N/mm = 1027.5 lb/in
18 = 18.7 kg/mm = 183.2 N/mm = 1047.1 lb/in
19 = 19.05 kg/mm = 186.6 N/mm = 1066.7 lb/in
20 = 19.4 kg/mm = 190.1 N/mm = 1086.3 lb/in

The -34 is the spring rate. For some unknown reason Ohlins uses it?s own numbers to label rate, but below on the rate conversion chart you can cross reference this number. Onetouch diabetes management software for mac. In this case a -34 is a 100nm or 10.19kg or 571lb spring? The /100 is the springs rate in Newton meters, but without the decimal. Chk file recovery 1.2 crack. In this case the /100 means it?s a 100nm spring. 2020 Ohlins MX RXF48S Series Forks New Ohlins for 2020 FGKT2096, FGHO2096, FGYA2096, FGSU2096 KT2094, KA2094, SU2094 YA2094, HO2094 BAM!- a Spring in EACH Fork makes. 3) Ohlins 2020 48RXFs FORKS For your Weight and Conditions there are many Springs for many things, Most brand new shocks we sell will have the best spring choice determined. The combination of spring and air vol-ume (oil level) gives a possibility to ad-just the characteristics of the fork to suit different tracks and riders. For example a soft spring in combina-tion with a small air volume (high oil level) gives progressive action of the front forks. For better understanding, please refer to our oil level chart.

i came about this trying to find out about my shock, i thought i had been sold a WP shock that was for a rider 170-175 kg in weight as that was what was stamped on the spring 170-175, thankfully Al pointed out to me that i was incorrect in thinking it was kg rating it was infact the Newton Force rating of the spring, so to anyone that has a got a shock second hand and doesn't know what spring is on it this may be of some use?Ohlins Spring Chart Pdf

Hello,
I am trying to identify what ohlins spring I have fitted on a Fox rear shock.
My thinking is that it could be the spring from a later RSVR and that the linkage maybe incorrect, the part number has also worn off mine. but may be able to make a bit out if I knew the number I was looking for.
I think the part number for after 01 RSVR is 1091-31/95
But I require the part number for the pre 01 model which uses the different linkage.
Would it be possible for someone to measure the dia of the material (not overall diameter the actually dia of the coiled metal itself) so I can compare with what I have got.
Thanks
Gavin
