Suspension Preload Setting
Suspension Preload Setting
(OP)
How do other engineering disciplines set their suspension preload up.
There are a number of bikers who suggest that it should be set at about 10% sag. But would it not be better to have it set at 50% sag so it could fill holes just as well as it absorbs bumps?
Cheers

However the setup should be such that it does bottom out on the largest compression it is likley to encounter. this way you will get the best use from the travel available.
Also 5th Element make a progressive shock which is designed not only to get harder with greater downforce but will also limit bobbing caused by the action of peadling.
