quick question about scg forks

[motoqueiro]

Hello there, the new (black) scg forks don't have preload adjustment, do they? it's only rebound and compression damping.
The older ones had
If I'm wrong can any one explain to me how to set them
Thanks

thanks anrkizm95, can you scan the setting fork preload area to please. it's different from the older ones has no lines appear when setting it, must be counting turns???[confused]

Somewhat related, I just purchased a Scg and my front end seem to bottom out a lot more that my City did. For example a small speed bump snuck up on me....thunk! A driveway into a gas station with a very small lip...thunk!. I haven't messed with the settings yet but do these things really have that much less travel or is something amiss?

 

[anrkizm95]

mine has done since new dosnt matter how stiff you make the front settings.only does it on certain driveways

I'm assuming that it's just hitting a bump stop and won't do any damage???
