Just to be clear --- I don't think that the big nut is an adjustment. I just backed mine out about 5 or 6 turns, and PSSSST!!!!! nitrogen pressure and oil came out. Threaded the nut back in, and it's still leaking oil so I must have buggered the o-ring. Which means now the shock needs to be rebuilt with fresh oil and nitrogen charge.

I guess it would've had to happen anyways to replace the bump stop --- but FU<K!! Now the bike is out of commission again.

And the rear shock spring rate still doesn't feel good. Way too stiff --- the bike sags about 6mm in the rear when I sit on it. That's no where near 30% of the travel (6").

It's also with the original links.

GAAHHHHH!!!!
