Silver secondary spring

Ok I'll try to make my results clearer. I had white spring wrapped at 60 and the thing pulls great throughout and saw 115 gps on plowed road. the silver at 90 I saw 109 gps. The next day on area lake while adding the 5/16 washer trick I saw 104 with the silver and then changed to white with washers and saw 99.5 on same trail very loose conditions 4 to 5 inches of fresh snow. Why would adding the washers improve the silver over the white? and best results with the silver was wrapped at 90. I do feel that the white pulls better from top to bottom. I'm just wondering if changing the helix would improve everything or does the washer trick do the same thing? I'm new to messing with clitching so please bear with me. Thanks Mark oh yeah heading to Fort Kent Friday Anyone up arpund there??

I wouldnt rely on any info while testing on loose snow. Your track is spinning much more and with the white secondary spring, because of its force, it will want to close sooner than the silver because you are not loading as hard, thus you will see higher MPH with the silver in those conditions. Realistically you have to ask youself, are these the conditions you most ride/race in? If so, leave the silver, if not and you ride and race in hardpack conditions, the white will blow the silver away.

Regarding your helix, that stock helix works great. You really dont need to change it.
 
You are talking about the silver vs the white. Why would you jump from one extreme to another. Why would you not go with the stock secondary spring, the pink?

thanks for clarifying ;)!
 
BBY has it dead on.. I've found much the same testing the silver/pink/white. I am running the white in a 128 apex with 192 studs. I was overshifting with anything less that the white. I do feel that the white will scrub a little bit of top speed off - but that should be expected anytime you wrap the secondary tighter. I feel the 0-100 performance gain more than makes up for it.
