Hi Tommy,
I thought you need to achieve a static sag front and back in the region of 20-25mm as a ball park figure for any sportily ridden bike.If the preload was almost maxed out to achieve this figure it would prove that stronger springs/spring were needed.Then as you've said you'd go ahead setting your rider sag to achieve the figure you've been advised to get.As you've just rebuilt the forks it would be nice to know how they're performing using cable ties,ideally with one marking the bottomed out position so you'd know how much fork you're using under heavy braking etc.It is a bit of a minefield at times,I must admit.
