Hi Can any one tell how to use the preloader TORA FORKS as I am new to mountain bikes.

    Download the manual from SRAM. It is used to set sag/rideheight.

    Put a zip tie on the shiney bit of your forks, as low as possible. Climb on yoUr bike. The zip tie will be pushed up as the forks sink under your weight. When you get off your bike the zip tie will stay at the position it was forced up to when you sat on the bike, measure how far it was pushed up. Adjust the preload so that the forks sink by 25% of their maximum travel. This is called sag.
