That doesn't sound right to me... I had a gemini that was set up with the
Van R, and ran the 750 lb spring. I found it fairly stiff, and I was 260lbs
at the time. You might want to get your shop to check it out.

Hello. I recently added a Van R to my Prophet. I originally bought it with a 650lb spring, which I quickly realized wasn't going to work. I was able to bottom out the shock from just bouncing around the street. I'm 6'3 225lbs. I upgraded to an 800lb spring and come within 1/2 inch from bottoming this one out.
