Re: Johns 66

By "quality spring" I just mean something with a reputable brand name on it. Cheap springs sag a whole lot quicker over time.

A "dual-rate" or a "progressive" spring has you riding on softer spring rate for comfort, but the rate increases the more it is loaded, which helps carry that load better. Progressive (or dual rate) might be a good compromise.
