Its a easy way to check that. I hava a PDF reader on my iPhone and have a clear editable A700 Evo setupsheet in.
There you can check the stiffnes of spring and damper. You can put in 2mm spring and 1mm damper for example and see then the gF/mm of your setup. This is the way i alsways do when i want to change the rates.
Best regards Max
For those interested here's an Excel spreadsheet i created you can use to calculate your suspension stiffness. It works on a smartphone if you have an MS Office app.
