Changing the rear shock oil this week. Installing new spring this weekend. My question is has anybody pay any attention to setting rider sag on the front forks?? I have found some info in the magazines but it seems that most feel this is not that important. What ya'll think??

Hughes,
   Once you get the right spring rate for your weight I never usually worry about the sag.  I find that preloading the fork spring even a little bit can make the first few inches travel noticably harsher - not pleasant when woods riding over roots and rocks.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Cam.
