The front forks are .47 spring rate, the shock spring rate is on the spring. I have 3 bikes and they all have different spring rates on them, so i dont think there is a common spring rate on the shock .Pro-Action did a lot of work for cannondale. Call them and ask for George he can tell about the different valving.

so what i am gathering is the front fork springs are the same and the rear shock is what changed the spring rate and valving and the fork valving was different on the e440 vs x440 using the same springs

The valving will be different on both ends between the x & the e they just were inconsistant on rear spring rates

I have this on my computer at work. A while back I did quite a bit of testing with valving and have played with different springs on my 03 440x. Shoot me a pm with an email and I'll send you some files. During my testing I kept an Excel spread sheet on the changes. I have re-done some of the the Pro-Action set up bikes. They were fairly close to where I ended up.
