It's a good point, but (and this is a big but as I am no suspension expert lol) - how does the manufacturer know how much preload an individual rider has set? Preload would adjust the "normal resting angle" of the swingarm versus the frame, right?
I could see it being the case that the only guaranteed "known" position is that of the bike while fully weighted, and the only one therefore the manufacturer could give a known figure/range for?
