ASK THE MXPERT: HOW MUCH IS A GOOD TURN WORTH?

One turn of a shock’s preload ring is equal to 3mm of race sag.

HOW MUCH IS A GOOD TURN WORTH?
Dear MXperts,
When I turn my shock spring one turn, how many millimeters of preload does that equal?

     It depends on the weight of the rider, but for an average-size rider, each turn of the shock preload ring is equal to 3mm of sag. Thus, if you have 106mm of sag and want 100mm, you will need to turn the shock spring two turns.
