Have a old style Cove G-spot which came with a Vivid 5.1.
Currently have a fox Air shox on it, due to not having the right spring weight on the Vivid.

According to TF website I need a 800lb spring for my weight (or go on a diet). It would seem to me that Vivid springs only go up to 650lbs.

Lots of other springs seem go up to 800lb.

Whats the score? Can I get a 800lb spring to fit a vivid? If so where?

That seems a bit heavy.
I'm a regular 75 kg guy and i use a 400 lb spring. I ride a Nomad if that makes any difference.
How much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking?

What spring have you got on iy now? How does it feel? If its a 550 lb and it just feels a bit too soft you proably wont need an 800 lb spring.

Btw I'm far from an expert so if someone has a better idea..

Anyway pinkbike has plenty of used springs if you want to see there.
