Hello all -- I've recently purchase a Suntour NCX SP12 suspension seat post, and am setting it up for the first time. I realize that getting the preload setting correct is a bit of a "dial-it-in" exercise, but I thought I'd ask folks that I consider experienced how they have their preload set up.
Below are three photos.
Top = preload from factory
2nd = preload +1 turn clockwise (increase)
3rd = preload +2 turns clockwise (increase)
I'm wondering if anyone has a good photo of how their NCX looks when they have their preload set to 1/3 damping as instructed by the manual, or any advice on which of my photos may be the closest to "correct" preload on the unit.
Thanks in advance,
Y
