Hey everyone,
I just took the plunge and bought a camso kit for my 500 exc to try out snowbiking. Had a blast this weekend and everything worked awesome but one this that has become very apparent to me (and my wrists) is that heavier fork springs are not optional, lol.
I've been looking all around the net but can't find any info pertaining to this bike in particular as to which spring rate I should be looking at. I weight about 170, so probably close to 200 geared up + 20 lbs of gas/tools on the tunnel. I believe stock rate is 0.47. I know i wont be getting max benefit but I dont want to revalve as this isnt a dedicated snowbike and it is dialed in well for summer riding.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Cheers
