Do you also get angry at people that use the word "count" because it is very close to another offensive word? What about deck? Do you refuse to utter the name of the country Niger?

Preload doesn't change the effective spring rate, it just raises the activation force of the spring.

Yeah sorry, fork/shock same thing when it comes to air springs though (for the most part). People often don't realize how deep they get into the travel due to rider inputs. You should illustrate that rather than try to justify the feel by talking about how the wheel force curve is steeper in the sag area (which it isn't). There isn't enough talk about dynamic ride height vs static ride height (sag), and spring vs damper behavior when talking about rider inputs vs terrain inputs to the suspension.

The air spring curve is completely wrong in the article. A brief google for any fork's air spring curve gives an S shaped curve that is flatter through the sag and midstroke than a coil with the same amount of sag.

The words niggle and niggard are from a completely different origin than the "N word" and have nothing to do with it at all. ripnshread is just an idiot tripping over himself trying to get offended.
