[QUOTE="MACE, post: 457194, member: 16716"] Yes, unless you run more preload. Preload is really a somewhat misleading term. What we call preload is really ride height adjustment. For offroad I'm thinking it is worth an experiment to run light springs without extra preload an a low oil level. Let the fork sag. A lower ride height is an advantage in many tight technical areas. Lowering the oil level will reduce the rapid air spring rise that I believe is what causes "midstroke harshness" in bikes ridden by magazine writers. Yes you need to balance the rear ride height... Don't forget to question authority. ;) [/QUOTE]
