H-series RM125 shock conversion - Spring question
Curious how you figured out what was the proper spring to use? Did you use the RM spec, KDX spec, something else? If your sag numbers are good for your weight, would you mind posting your weight and the spring you used?

i am 195 with no gear. I run all my springs one rate stiffer with less prelode. I feel this gives a softer ride. Springs get harsher the more compressed they are. So instead of a 5.4 I used a 5.7 . I would just go by the standard chart
