how many more lbs with elka linkage

[fasterz]

i was wonder if any one knew how much the elka linkage effec valving, like how much would it change in reference to rider weight. so say you bought a shock valved for 170, would the linkage, since it requires stiffer valving only, would rider weight be lowered to 140, or where? thanks, im wondering this becuase im running axis with an elka linkage and wondering how much of an effect it makes on the valving. thanks

I don't know about all that weight stuff, I understand what you are saying but have no clue as to how much difference. Elka shocks with the Elka linkage also have a stiffer SDS spring, that much I do know.

yea but my axis is a dual rate and doesnt have one of those skinny elka zps springs, its 2 thick springs just like the elka LT rear
