hi i changed the fork preload. it was set with 2.5 rings showing. did the same for the rear. i used the guide from the how to section" not to happy as theforks bottomed out huder sharp heavy breaking yesterday. wanted to see if things set different from standard made a difference as i am 17 stone light. was told in the tutorial 25mm for the road is right.
cheers
