Anyone know what the standard spring pressure is? I've got a dim recollection that it's 1.2BAR and that there was a bigger spring available.

Standards are 'green' I reckon. I upped mine to a 'yellow'

Thanks for that. Yellow looks like more like what I need, or blue.

If the normal string opens at about 1.1 BAR, can you think of a situation when this would be bad? That's your Google homework task for the evening hehe

If you happen to be running more than 1.1bar?

Why did Washy change his then?

I assumed it was that you prefered not to have the bov noise until you are really stepping on.

Yup. That's a good reason

Good question. Maybe he's letting his over boost a bit or the original spring was a bit weak.

Not a bad guess, but wrong.

I'm afaid so. Tell you all about it next time we meet.

Thought about doing a VMAX? Head over to the VMAX forum if so as I think CraigW had a couple of places left.
