bigd Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I’m about 220lbs. Adjusted the rear preload when I went touring recently fully loaded and now I can’t get it ‘right’. Measured the rider sag and to get it to move below 40mm I have to have max preload (Max hard on the dial). Does this sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthAu Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 With 140mm travel in the rear, 40mm sag is ok. Ideally, you want new fork and shock springs. I'm similar weight, these bikes aren't setup for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 I thought this might be the case! What preload settings on front and back are you running? I’ve 7 lines showing on front preload which isn’t much preload I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthAu Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Front preload is maxed out. I've got something like 58mm sag front. Rear is around 3/4 of max preload. On the softer side to match the front until I get new springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
