Hi Michael, Just something to chew on for you. I made the same swap you're considering. Those springs are really stiff. If you're a lightweight, I don't think you'll notice much difference except for some squeaking and an extra pound or so of ballast. I just didn't feel like it even "took the edge off" for me. Mine was stolen seatpost and all, and I swapped temporarily for a plastic saddle then a B17. If you're a bigger guy, on the other hand, then go for it!
