PS - front setting

Last post on the topic, I promise!

I've noted a few posters have mentioned it looks to be difficult to adjust the front bar to the softest setting. I'd have to agree that it's probably not the ideal setting due to the angularity of the links.

In fact the links are short enough that the efficacy of the adjustment using that 3rd hole is probably a bit limited, due to the inescapable limits of the geometry involved. Not the fault of the design, just a result of the confines they were working in. Overall they did a pretty good job coming up with a fully bolt on solution that fits and works.

However, I had a good look at my mine and I think lengthening the front links by threading the rod ends apart (while still leaving adequate threads engaged) would allow one to select the frontmost adjustment hole without binding.
