I am about 6'1, 238 with no gear. I set the spring to the stiffest setting on the cam and measured it from end to end (the entire spring) and it was 13.125 inches. I let it down, got on and bounced around a bit, sat down and had my buddy re-measured it and it was 11.750 inches. The difference was a little over 35mm so I figure with gear on I should be just over 40mm. So I guess the stock spring on the ER being rated for up to 250 lbs is pretty close.
BTW, my Apex is red and I went with the red round backers. It looks pretty cool. I'll snap a few picks tomorrow if anyone is curious about the color. Its not an exact match but its close enough.
