Reducing Spring Preload
Reducing the preload
will decrease the ride
height and increase sag.
To reduce the preload
on your spring, turn the
Spring Adjustment Nut
counter-clockwise (Make
sure the spring preload
still has 1 full turn of
preload engagement when
reducing preload).
1. With the shock
uncompressed,
measure the length
of your shock from
eye to eye.
2. Mount the bike in your
normal riding gear. Ensure the Climb Switch is in
the Open position, the bike is on a level surface, and
your weight is centered over the bottom bracket as
you are in a normal riding position.
3. Measure the shock from eye to eye in this position.
The difference between the two measurements
is your sag amount (uncompressed length -
compressed length = sag) and can be converted to a
percentage with the following formula. (Sag / Shock
Stroke) X 100 = Sag Percentage (E.g. (16.5mm /
55mm stroke) X 100 = 30%)
4. Add or remove spring pre-load as needed and repeat
the process until desired sag amount is achieved.
