Hi Blake,

My (Ohlins) spring bears the mark '1095-54/140 330' - which I've always
understood to be a 14.0 kg/mm rate (the 140 part). Is this wrong?

This wouldn't square with your data though, as it rides as near perfect as I
can imagine (on road and track) and I tip the scales at 110 kg (fully kitted
up)and the accessories must be another 10 kg, making 120 kg (265 lb).

My data are on http://www.triumphnet.com/st/ -> FAQ -> Suspension -> BRG

Swedish being a proto-germanic language, I would have thought "er-lins"
(sharp 's' - not 'z') would be nearer the mark ~:)
[If you're into the Method/Ryder school of acting, think 'Swedish Chef' out
of the Muppets...]
