OK, I have only had my Girly since last October and I did not change the rear shock setting which was pretty well all the way to 5 (stiff). For fun I have moved it back to about the middle to see what the ride would be like. Have not tried this yet as it is too cold and wet.
What do you guys set yours to? I would guess stiffer for asphault and two up riding. Any other recommendations for specific types of riding?
Cheers!

there is also the damping adjustment (I Think just for rebound?). Little adjustment screw at the base of the shock near where it attaches to the rear swingarm.... I just set the rear preload (which is what you did) so that I have a few inches of static sag (well, 30-40mm). So it depends on how the bike is loaded.
