G'day Stu,
Which way to adjust the screws depends on where they are now and what the bike is doing right/wrong. For a 100kg rider I'd suggest adding a fair bit of preload front and rear (ideally get two friends to help you and set you static sag correctly). I'd then set rebound and compression about 2/3 in - count the clicks in, then the clicks all the way out, then come back in about 2/3 (normally I'd suggest 1/2 way but being a bit heavier (like me
) you can afford to start off a bit further in) - then ride it and fine tune to suit your needs (or leave it like 90% of us do!).
