[QUOTE="terry hay, post: 705469, member: 48273"] When installing stiffer springs I'm always looking at the necessity of adjusting damping. If the standard spring rates were insufficient for a riders weight then generally the damping wouldn't be suitable either. The air gap adds a progressiveness to the overall feel. The standard gap should work fine with the heavier spring. Changing the air gap will create a different feel at the end of the stroke. More or less could be more suitable for you and your personal preference. Try removing 10ml of oil from each leg. Ride for a few laps and note the change. Replace the oil and again note the difference. Now add an extra 10ml. This is a simple experiment that will yield a greater understanding of the air spring effect. If you use a syringe you can add the oil through the bleed screws making the process so simple. Terry [/QUOTE]
