After Luke (Denz0 on here) refurbed my RT's original rear shock, and fitted a new spring, I've been very pleased with the improvement. But......for reasons unknown ......I fiddled with the settings, to the point where it felt horrible, and I'd not made a note of the starting point! All's good now though - it helped when I realised that tiny adjustments of the damping screw made big differences, I'd been doing a 1/4 of a turn at a time, whereas just 1mm of movement had a noticeable effect.
Anyway, in the handbook, we're told that, if the preload is increased, we must also increase the damping. If my understanding of preload is right (and it may not be, of course) it just makes the bike sit higher or lower. If that's all it does, why does the damping need to be changed at the same time?
