I'm going to be kind here and suggest that you stop trying to explain how springs work. Please review Hooks Law F=-kx, where kx=ma

I am familiar with what you are referring to. I learned in Physics class.. But nothing there invalidates what I said about the original issue: That is, using spacers to increase pre-load to compensate for possible sagging forks.

Now, that's being kind.

The fork compressing will push the zip tie up the leg and show you how much travel you used.

Gary , Pardon my ignorance but what is a Sales Engineer ? I'm sure you already figured out I'm not a rocket scientist.

I work for a company that makes actuators for aircraft, UAV, missiles and some military ground equipment. In addition to seeking new opportunities for my company, I work with the OEM design team to help develop specifications for electro-mechanical actuators. The REAL engineers at the company look at system kinematics and design/develop the gear train and motors required to meet the specifications.
