Tommy D Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I just got my BOL newsletter, and what do I see? The new BTS!!! Awesome fun stuff for Christmas! :D And now for my question: There is a chart that indicates soft (yellow) springs are for "Light to medium weight riders who want the softest flexing boot." I do better with weight ranges... At 145lbs, I'm assuming I'd be a "medium". Is that correct? If that is so, that leads into my next question: Never have I had the ability to adjust the flex of my boot (Just forward lean). So, how would I determine which springs/combos are best for me (Without buying two sets of yellows and blues.) Should I go for a stiffer heelside, or toeside? EDIT: I'm sure it also depends on boot stiffness. I have the SB423, but will likely upgrade in a year or two. I have a feeling tuning the BTS will be a lot like tuning my Seismic longboarding trucks. Playing with the pre-load is easy, but swapping springs gets expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCrider Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 At 145lbs, I'm assuming I'd be a "medium". Is that correct? And here in this corner at 195lbs I thought I was a medium. under 150 light? over 200 heavy? I'm going to go with the mediums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I took the plunge and ordered both yellow and blue. I ride my Suzukas in "powder mode" and I will use whichever set gives me a similar *range* of flex as the "powder mode" but with more resistance.
