Bit of a shock !!

[Rednaxs60]

For folks interested in learning / understanding more about performance suspension, this is a good book on the topic.

Bought this book in 2015 and read it quite often. Took a Total Control course with Lee Parks a few years back, nice fellow.

All this talking about ups and downs. :yikes: I just want a shock that works. And doesn't break the bank. :thumbup: Tom :thumbup:

.... There is NO " might " about the pre-load compressing the spring - it is a fact. ... I stand by my earlier statements that the more you compress that Spring on the shock body ( ie pre-load ) the less travel it has because there is less distance between the coils. ... the tighter the spring gets the harsher the ride .... If you think it works in a different manner, please explain ..... Mike :thumbup:

Mike, you must have missed my second line.
Yes, increasing pre-load MIGHT compress the spring, but only if the shock is already fully-extended.

I went on to say that if your load had already compressed the spring, turning the pre-load adjuster will not compress the spring further, it will only extend the end of the shock to restore ride height.

So are you saying BRP's " pre-load " device ..... ONLY CHANGES RIDE HEIGHT ... And has NO effect on ride harshness ???? .... Mike .... PS read post #19 if you haven't already ....
