I'm 16 stone and 6'4" if this helps.
For now, set max preload on the shock and compression damping to maybe 1 - 2 clicks out from max. Set rebound damping to 4 clicks out then send Devilsyam a PM to ask about R6 shock availability. Up front, I'd offer 2 rings preload showing with compression damping at 10 clicks out from max and rebound at 3 clicks out. Try those initially and adjust to taste.
... counting clicks in from fully soft will make life very confusing.
I've set it in the middle of the clicks so I can work back words to the hardest setting. I have tools with me so I can do my 24 miles to work and adjust when I arrive, I'd required I'll adjust 2 clicks at a time. If all else fails I'll set it as it was and start again.No wind or rain, first time in weeks....
should you be able to feel any difference between fully in on the compression damping and fully out?
