I'm spot on in the middle of that. I used the Racetech online form and it gave me a recommendation of 8.3n/mm or as near as I could get. This is for general road use.

check rider sag.

So me setting front static sag for 10mm is too much preload for the bike alone?

Yep, noted.. I've seen some of the most confusing clips on Youtube explaining it all wrong. Some by people who are obviously good at setting things up but have no talent for conveying ideas or teaching in a simple coherent way. Others that simply focus on setting rider sag and totally ignore bike sag!

thats pretty much the basics of setting the sag.

I've got the cable tie in place already. No one has ever mentioned this aspect of adjustment over time. Good to know, cheers.
