The adjusting wings engage noticeably at the numerical
values.
Info
Adjust the spring preload to the numerical values only
as the preload will not engage between the numerical
values.
Turn clockwise to increase the spring preload; turn
counterclockwise to reduce the spring preload.
Adjusting the spring preload has no influence on the
absorption setting of the rebound.
Basically, however, you should set the rebound damp-
ing higher with a higher spring preload.
