did you revalve or just shock and fork spring?  i am also increasing spring rates for my weight (225 wit gear) and am debating spending money on revalve.

also team green has a recommended spring chart on their webpage but it only goes from 135 lbs to 200lbs

   If you set your sag at 100mm with you on the bike you should have 20 to 25mm of satic sag. If your static sag Is less then that, or no sag after setting race sag your spring is to soft if it is greater, then your spring is to stiff.
