Thanks, Don,
Another mighty fine looking rig and I'll wager it performs as good as it looks. Plus it's a Greeves, enough said. Great ground clearance and the second headlight on the fender is really cool. I'll only have about 6" ground clearance if that but can't do extremes of offroad anyway because of health issues so no loss there. I'll bet that thing is loads of fun!
Fortunately I can weigh this thing piece by piece while assembling and even before. There's also sites on the net that post materials weights for metal tube & plate etc. so I can see where I'm going before I get there. Bath scale will tell me about components. Found out tons of info here and elsewhere but one of the murkiest areas has been: what spring/shock rating?
One of the problems with establishing proper spring/shock rates is 'trial and error' is rather impractical on a severely limited, to almost non-existent, income.
X, have you thought of going with an air shock? It will give you some adjustability. You'd only need to get it "close 'nuf" then air up or down depending on load.
Yes, thanks, first mentioned by Don in Nippomo in a post above. Good idea!
