I see, I'm not alone then. Seems like you got it worse then me though.

Greetz, Hans.
My weight with gear on is 80kg, on longer trips luggage adds 10-20kg. Mostly offroad. More progressiveness would be welcomed but not stiffer, I guess those springs comes in different settings? Gonna have a look at the ones you recommended, thanks. Might end up with a JMo-conversion..
