For RC51 fork swappers

I posted this in another thread on someone's swap today, but its way back on page 3 and might be hard to find. So I'll repost separately. I have nothing to do with all the hard work that must have gone into preparing this spreadsheet. Its a detailed list of users experience, commercial suspension guru's advice etc, all about set-up: there are multiple sheets in the spreadsheet with tabs at the bottom. Its for the 2000 fork for the most part. Obviously our bike is different than an RC but the basics of setting things up should be similar. When I did my swap, I researched setting quite a bit mostly spring rates,lengths to get sag right. I ended up with 0.95 stock length springs and a 10mm spacer. That allows me to get sag just where I want it with a good range (I weigh 180-185 without any gear). I believe I was told by Dan Kyle that set up would work for a big weight range all the way to 220 or 230.

Anyway, might be a good resource for others.
