Default Re: Front preload query

Preload has no effect of travel. It is used to set sag. You need a certain amount of sag so the suspension extends into dips and holes and under heavy braking the rear tyre stays in contact with the ground.

If your forks are bottoming or not getting enough travel you need a different spring rate.
