if i weigh 180ish would i be good using a 1000 lb. spring or would i need the 1200 for my mx style swing arm?

depends on what swinger and the leverage ratio, i had a pitster x4r with the 100lbs spring. it worked very well, and i weight up to 200 lbs for a lil bit

i have the sano mx swinger. i dont know what the leverage is. they use the F-8 ishock but i dont now what spring weight they use. . the shock comes in 800, 1000, and 1200 springs

so is the 1200lb spring for the sano mx swinger set for the heavier people??

best bet would be to call sano and talk to them. they should have an idea about spring rates vs peoples weight.
