Blue 4.0
Black 4.5

Rear
White 1.6
Yellow 2.0
Red 2.5
Grey 3.0

Thanks but that wasn't quite what I meant.

I'm after the units of measurement e.g. lb/in or N/mm.

lb/in

Assuming the unit is lb/in, here is a Excel sheet for conversion:

Hey Olivier, I love that chart - it should have its own sticky thread!

Oliver, I don't think that the units are lb/in.

The reason being that on the track when I used to run a fireblade an associated slver front spring which felt slightly stiffer than an (2.5 rate) schumacher red, but softer than a schumacher grey (3.0 rate).

The associated springs are 3.85lb/in according to their website and your chart., which woud make them much harder than the above schumacher springs if the schumacher rates are in lb/in.

Btw I'm talking about the old style schumacher springs which do not he quite the same rates as the ones you have listed.
