[QUOTE="sath182, post: 1325011, member: 29607"] Hmm, sure sounds like you were doing the right thing. If you had, say, 200mm from the uncompressed spring to the edge of the fully extended fork tube, and the depth of your cap from the top of the threads to the bottom of the preload adjuster is 50mm, then adding 20mm of static preload would give a spacer length of 170mm. It sounds to me like that's the process that you've followed. Did you already set your preload adjusters after installing, or leave them all the way out like you measured them? That can make a pretty big difference. BTW, chopping 20mm off the spacer will probably give more than 20mm increased sag depending on the spring rate. [/QUOTE]
