internal adjustment to the preload.

sag.
You will find instructions on adjusting the preload
internally in the RockShox maintenance

10 Check the sag.
The spring preload setting can be used to finely
adjust the sag; However, the preload does not
change spring stiffness and is not suitable to
substitute the correct compression spring rate.
 If the desired sag is not achieved with the
maximum number of spacers, you must
replace the coil spring with a harder spring.
 If the desired sag cannot be achieved without
a preload spacer, you must replace the coil
spring with a softer spring.
