[QUOTE="falcon, post: 421376, member: 356"] wait, did that fix it? if you turned them clockwise fully then backed off 5 clicks that is in the upper (hard) range of damping (there is a little text on the knob it says S <-> H for soft and hard). also that is only compression damping. there is rebound damping adjust at the bottom of the fork (requires flathead screwdriver). Also, you can adjust preload with a 17 mm wrench. But I wouldn't touch anything just yet...I highly recommend 1) getting the manual and 2) having someone help you set up the bike's suspension...the range of adjustment is truely impressive and I had no idea until I learned more about suspension tuning (from computer racing simulation games oddly). Last weekend I finally started tuning my suspension while knowing what all these adjustments do, and i believe you will be happier with the bike set up better. i had my suspension set very poorly for a long time, and the bike is that much more wonderful when it is set up for your weight and riding style.
