just wanted to ask if any one could tell me.... I was going to adjust the rear suspernsion on my BP i have the compression screwed it dont have clicks like the rebound its screw half a turn backwards from full i get on really well with this set up the bike handels nice but i just want abit more stiffness in the rear as i am challenged in the gut area now then do i?

changed the ride height or do i just stiffen the spring by the two locking nuts on the shock i dont have much sag when i sit on the bike but like i say just want it a little stiffer if i turn the nut half a turn on the spring will this allow me to back off my compression

or am i looking like a complete fool hear and not making any sense???????????

if i am just say fool lol

IMHO the ride height is far more critical than the odd click here or there - have it set too high and bike turns :lol: into a supermarket trolley
