Adjusting preload internally
Only your specialist dealer may make an
internal adjustment to the preload.
Preloading the coil spring on ROCKSHOX
Paragon forks is an internal adjustment that
compresses or decompresses the spring without
changing the deflection.
The coil spring can be preloaded 5 mm or 10 mm
using the internal preload spacer.
