Adjusting preload internally
Only your specialist dealer may make an
internal adjustment to the preload.
Preload spacers compress or decompress the
spring without changing deflection.

adjustment ring
The coil spring can be preloaded with the
maximum number of preload spacers specified for
the fork model in question.

Remove spacers to reduce preload and
increase the sag.
Fit spacers to increase preload and decrease
sag.
You will find instructions on adjusting the preload
internally in the RockShox maintenance
instructions.

Check the sag.
The spring preload setting can be used to finely
adjust the sag; However, the preload does not
change spring stiffness and is not suitable to
substitute the correct compression spring rate.
If the desired sag is not achieved with the
maximum number of spacers, you must
replace the coil spring with a harder spring.
If the desired sag cannot be achieved without
a preload spacer, you must replace the coil
spring with a softer spring.
