Hi mate, sorry about the delay.
About the front preload ... 5 rings showing, that's 20 mm (stock setting) to the top of the adjuster. We started to wind it in one ring at a time, and the first couple made a 3mm change in the measurements with the fully extended versus the rider on bike setting. THen it stopped makeing any difference after that. Odd. I am wondering whether the damping might stop it settling properly, so I will wind out the damping adjusters and try again. That will have to be at the weekend now due to me going away for couple of days on business.
I reckon I am more clued up now on what I am looking for and trying to do. The tricky bit will be getting to the rear preload adjuster ... waht an arse that is! Fond memories of the Ohlins external preload adjuster on my ST4s. Ah well ....
