Just wondering how many of you use preload adjusters? Are they useful of just a piece of crap??...

 

For me, they're more of an aesthetic piece to have. They're cool though.

I only touch my preload a few times a year. Like when new tires are fitted or in the off-season to soften a bit the ride since I'm not all-out on her.

 

My weight doesn't change so I don't need to adjust my preload so I see no need for them. Besides, its just a wrench to adjust, not that hard.

 

Agreed....once your preload is set, it is not going to change (often, if at all)

 

thanks for the info. I've been asking around and it's more of a aesthetic thing rather than functional. I'm in the middle of designing some carbon ones just to see if I can do it and how they come out.

I'll make a couple of sets and see how it goes from there. If nothing then I'll put it on the back burner and find another project.

 

Yes, but only once per spring change . They're really useful on dirt though. If you go between the street and track, it's useful to swap springs and run less race sag, but that's a lot of work.

 

Ok. Here's the 2 styles I have so far. Had to quit...was getting a headache. Which one do you guys like? Any suggestions?
