heffergm Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 No, he's saying: - remove the spring and measure it's length - reinstall spring, then tighten the preload adjuster down until the length of the spring is 10mm less than your initial measurement of the springs uncompressed length 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taff_d Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 That's how I was told to do it, if you can't get the required rider sag within 10mm of preload you need a different spring, if you wind too much preload on you can become spring bound.

The year old lighter spring that was on my bike still measures 140mm so they do not seem to collapse over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
