Title: Spring Weights
Post by: DrinkTea on Thu, 01 August 2013, 01:51:31
If I understand correctly, the springs on originative are listed with bottoming out force and the 62 or 65 is closest to the springs used in cherry browns and blues. Is this right? If so, where do the 80g springs fall? I'm looking for something between white/green and blue in weight.

iirc green/white springs have a bottom out of 100g or so. (or was it clears with the 100g?)
so maybe 80g should be what you want.

From those graphs it seams that the originative spring's bottom out force is a little higher then what they are marked. You can make your own conclusions but originative 80g springs might be similar to black, white, and green springs.

62g is a bit heavier than stock blues, a decent amount more than browns and reds, but then there's 65g which is heavier still. If you want a decent spring, the 65gs would be nice. 80g's are somewhat like blacks.
