So by increasing pressure on the spring on the emulator does that increase the damping????? The description on one of the original posts only says to alter the compression increase the pressure on the spring????

Well done =D> thanks Paul . The Promech emulators I have in one set of forks are non adjustable and you can feel the improvement but I've just picked up another pair with g/ valves fitted so this helps in understanding in setting up. I think I'll use a common pair of fork springs as a starting point and go from there as I know how the Promecha feel...
