Spring rates on TAOTAO ATA-250D and Rhino 250
Has anyone ever measured the spring rates on this bike or have some comparison with other shocks/springs of a known rate? Anyone installed aftermarket shocks/springs and know the new spring rates and how it compared to the original.
Looking at buying these: http://www.amazon.com/Shocks-Absorbe...=375+mm+shocks |

Nobody?
I bought these taking a chance. Will let you know how they work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o00_s00 Front only to see the change. Rear feels OK but should probably be softer too. Stock fronts feel about twice as stiff as they should be. |

I'm not sure how I would measure spring rate. I've seen a fixture with a gauge for valve springs, but I'm not familiar with such a device for suspension.
