[QUOTE="Oso, post: 1325017, member: 28056"] The 21mm of static sag is with the preload adjustment all the way out (softest). Again adding that recommended 20mm of preload to the spacer would make my sag even less, right? This is how Racetech instructions read: "Use a tape measure to record the distance from the top of the fork tube down to the top of the spring washer. Set the preload adjuster to minimum. Measure the fork cap height from the bottom of the sealing lip to the point on the bottom of the cap where the spring touches. Subtract this distance from the first measurement. This would be the required length of the spacer for zero preload. Add the amount of preload required to determine the length of your spacers." I may be over analyzing this but could they mean add the preload number to the fork cap number before subtracting from the fork tube length? Which in sath 182s example above would give me a spacer length of 130mm. [/QUOTE]
