I've read just about every thread out there (including DI's awesome how-to) but I'm having some problems dialing in the sag. The only other person I've seen around my weight that's installed these posted that they cut their spacers at 190mm - I weigh 10 lbs more than that person posted so I figured I'd stay safe and cut my spacers first at 215mm. Checked sag after somehow managing to force them in there and I got 15 mm loaded sag. Ok, no biggie, cut the spacers down to 200mm and measured again - now I'm getting 16mm of sag. Does this make sense? Shouldn't lopping 15mm of preload off make a bigger diference? I don't see how lopping off another 15mm is going to net me another 15mm of sag BTW - 1.0kg springs, 310lb geared up. Checking sag with zip tie (sitting on bike in riding position then propping it up with the centerstand and jack to get the front in the air, then measuring from dust seal to zip tie). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
