ST front spring question

[weapon]

I was looking and could not see any preload adjusters on the front springs:banghead:
I usually like mine cranked up a bit.
Will the front end be too soft?

They're pretty darn perfect right as they come! :2thumbs:

I understand but how can it be near perfect for everyone.
My friend is 100 lbs and I am on the bigger side of 250.

Are we going to have to change the springs?

[Lamonster]

It was explained to me that when the geometry changed the need for preload adjustment was not needed. Not sure why or how it works but that's what I was told.

I guess time will tell.

When the shock was laid down in the front, it took more movement from the suspension to move the shock; the spring rate and preload were more important.
Now that they've stood it up; the suspension travel is now more directly tied to the shock travel.
This kind of de-emphasizes the importance of spring preload and spring rate a little bit... :thumbup:
