Hello fellow bike people

I weigh about 70kg which on the SE means there's no sag to speak of at all and makes the back bloody hard in the corrugations. Also with no sag it keeps the bike very tall (as it should be but an inch more sag would do me nicely)
Have messed about with compression settings but reckon i need to back the preload way back. Is it simply a case of winding back the preload and adjusting the compression to get a bit more sag and softer setting?
Don't want to install a lighter spring just yet - $$...

The specs mention 8mm - where do i measure this? :oops:

Also - does anyone know of a decent suspension tuner person in Cape Town?

Cheers
Mike
