Thanks for that. Shocks are a particularly confusing part to figure out. Nice write-up.

Some of the world cup pro’s are using 300lbs ti springs, isn’t it too light for guys weighting over 80 kg ?
Mojo’s website has some 300 and 350lbs ti springs highlighted as race only, do you know why ?
Cheers

I don’t know why Mojo’s website would say race only, perhaps ask them?
A 300lb ti spring can work for riders over 80kg, it depends on the bike’s leverage ratio and its linkage.
