Have a MastersBilt Gen X with a set of Ohlins shocks. I was wondering if there was a conversion chart out there that would convert lbs per inch into a number. Like my Rf has 50 lbs at 10 clicks open and 900 lbs at 5 clicks open would that be like a 2/10 etc. Not sure its that important just wondering.

A 10 with one builder or brand is not the same as someone else's 10. You are better off knowing what you actually have. Even if they are the same at say, 6"/sec, they probably are not at 4"/sec

That is common for people to do because the rf has so much rebound these days. A lot of shocks will peg the dyno at 6"/sec.
