What's the rule of thumb for dampening adjustment? I want to soften the rear compression so I would stiffen the rebound correct? I imagine if you allow the spring to compress more then the rebound will unwind more hence increasing the rebound adjustment...? Also is it one for one or any rule of thumb to get it close?
