BTS springs for Raichle SB 323

Post by iceaxe » Monday 7 March 2011, 1:08

Hello, I just got my hands on a pair of new Raichle SB 323's to replace my ancient Burton Furnaces. I'm getting the Bomber BTS and I was wondering what springs would be good for EC. I weigh ~160 lbs. (72 Kg's). Seems like most people here use the yellow springs, but many here are using stiffer boots to begin with.

Thanks!

Maybe better to take the ACSS for Deeluxe : viewtopic.php?t=8443

Hmm... I like the curved design and the minimal dimensions. I take it I have to contact Abrax directly to get this system?

I can also recommend ACSS as a better alternative to the BTS for EC.
:P

Thank You guys!

Following the question:

My system was designed especially for extremecarving, having Arnaud's ACSS in mind. Finally I've decided to make it with a kind of springs that would suit most of Your needs.

The system was well tested with rider weight varying from 65kg up to 95kg.
It feels OK with most of the range, but the light rider will feel that it could be 10% softer and on the other side the 90kg rider would say that he would like 10% harder spring. In both cases my spring is softer than the softest one available from with the BTS.

Anyway I'm 93Kg at the moment and carving feels very nice :-)

Sure!

But the price is then 60euro and the package can be SECURITY CHECKED -> They are trying to copy the system... ;)
