    I have the FGRT813 with the stock springs but the front feels okay but a little to soft. It has the standard 9.5 nm forks and as a 95 kilo rider wonder whether I should go with the 10.5 or 11 nm forks to suit me better?

    I've got k-tech internals with 9.5nm springs and find them just right, uber smooth on the rough stuff but i'm 67 kg w/o gear

    What weight are you Si?
    I'd doubt you need to go any higher than a 10.5

    I'm about 102 and running the 10.5's. You'll be good with them

    Or make a mix 10 in one and 105 in the other.

    I'm fine with them at 92kg
