This R1 front end...........

The 10mm is how much travel isn't used. So the distance between the
cable tie & the bottom of the forkleg (the 'bumpstop'). You don't need
to know how much travel /is/ used, or how far the cable tie moves.

 

Yeah, got it, my manual says turn the screw all the way clockwise counting
clicks, then count clicks anti-clockwise, clockwise decreases damping.

Right, just took it out & what a difference right away, had to slacken off a
bit of front preload, then wind a bit back in, but crikey it feels so much
better.

Factory settings apart from both pre-loads. Fely bang on fro road riding

What was the rear sag before you changed it, just out of interest?

That's easy for you to say.

 

Rump in spinach?

 

Not a lot to be honest. The ring selector was 2 notches harder.

Feels fantastic now, the front was wound into just 2 rings showing, now it's
just a smidge under 6
