Preload Adjustment

I've read the manual and watched the video below. Apparently there are 18 click positions but when I backed the knob out all the way I thought I counted 20 clicks until I could really not move it anymore even with gloves, there is also a hose that's right up against the knob on the right side that makes it difficult to grab. There was no definite stop but it got really tight. I backed it off 10 clicks for now which should put me in the ballpark for 240lbs. The compression/rebound setting will come later but it seems fine.

Maybe it's obvious, but it's much easier to manipulate when you lower the passenger peg. It also gets much easier to turn over time as it gets used.

Yeah but that hose that rests up against it doesn't help and I have a pretty good grip.
