[QUOTE="SCB, post: 1315873, member: 21375"] Well, again considering the fact that there is also an air spring effect, adding preload will extend the fork leg, reducing the air pressure in the fork. You will, in effect, be transferring weight from the air spring to the mechanical spring. The net result will be a somewhat MORE compressed mechanical spring. A corollary of this is adding 10mm of preload will not raise the ride height by a full 10mm. It will come up some lesser amount due to the reduced contribution from the air spring and the associated increased compression of the mechanical spring. [/QUOTE]
