Flyweight - XP summit flyweight question for 6'K to 9k' elevation
Question) I've heard that a good setup for a 163 in the Revelstoke, Golden area is 16g pin weight, 160/350 primary spring, stock violet secondary spring, and your QR11 helix. Would this work well in a 154? I ride in very similar elevations as the above setup(6 to 9000').

Answer)Regarding track length say from the 140ish to the 160ish, naw does not matter the track length itself too much. What does matter is driver weight so say a guy who weighs 135 lbs can use more flyweight than a guy who weighs 320 lbs and do have guys running that are heavier.
The body weight is what matters “more influence” for the sled to pull off whatever flyweight it can handle. I am 252 lbs and run 15.5g in Revelstoke, my pal who is 140 lbs he runs 16.6g. In the end just run the sled first and observe your rpms. Flyweight determines rpms - IF rpms are low, THEN reduce flyweight. IF rpms are high, THEN increase flyweight. Tailor to your own application.
