    You need 10,5 for road or 11Kg track.

    TTX spring for your weight would be 10. for road and 10.5 for track.

    An 11 would leave you running with no preload available to add, unless you run it viciously soft.

    a 10.5 with 10mm of built in preload and 5-9mm of adjustable preload would be spot on.

    He is 90 kg naked, with gears between 95 et 100 kg, 10,5 seems to me soft .....

    I m 88 kg and i was running 10,5 and on the road ( great roads, no bump or potholes ) i used 95% of the shock stroke.

    Now i'm came back to OEM shock with its 11Kg shock ( 11 to 12, progressive and it's better for my weight ).
