SR Suntor XCT Adjustment
I have a crappy SR Suntour XCT coil fork and I was wondering if there was any easy way to make it less hard (idk the terminology, don't kill me) since right now I'm not even using half of if, and every bump bucks me. I have also found that the preload knob changes absloutley nothing about the fork, is that just me being stupid, or is it just a placebo knob?

contact suntour and see if they have a lighter weight spring option for you. Might not be that hard to swap. I literally just googled “suntour xct coil replacement spring”
