I've got a spring from an old Parker pen here John... should suit your weight perfectly!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I'm about a stone too heavy for mine, i was going to change it but decided to save £80 and just eat less [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] .. i'm almost down to my fighting weight.

John, 72 rated springs are for riders who weigh between 12½ stone and 15½ stone.. 83kg-96kg

Got a 69 on mine which is far to soft with all my gear on - the 69 is for riders weighing 74kg-86kg.. 11½ st to 13stone.

I'm sending all my suspension off this week for a service, really struggled with arm pump all day Sunday which i normally don't get for long [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] - checked my front forks today and they were only two clicks of the stiffest setting [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] .

Will be buying a new 72-250 rear spring while the lots in being done, but i don't know if my old spring will fit yours? [think they changed in 07?]

Yep they changed, 76 is the standard weight spring for us who can only afford older bikes [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I need to go at least 1 down to a 74 or preferably a 72. If you are changing your spring though I wouldn't mind trying it [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
