The rs set up

How did that turn out?
Would that effect the rate, more than ride height? Or, effect both?

they meant I could adjust the ride height up and down. If you look at lowering kits for any bike using this style of rear suspension they are like this....same as the RS just two of them to get exactly the same...
 
It's interesting. The adjustable linkages you've added, are different lengths between the 2018 bikes, and the 2020 bikes. They are supposed to be more 'linear' on the 2020 bike. I wonder if the adjustable rod on the RS is to adjust force on the shock, more than ride height? But I don't know why, and I don't know how the different linkages effect the force on the shock. Or, is it just very simple, and it does adjust just ride height!?
I think the linkages need to be torqued to 150PSi too. Seems a lot. Although, next time I adjust the ride height, I will just drop one of the linkage plates, and put the spanner on the shock adjustment directly.

When you adjust the height with the linkages, can you feel any difference? I guess it's tricky, because potentially your wheelbase has also changed?

Isn't it the relative pivot points on the rocker that dictates the linearity? The arms may have some effect too, but my trigonometry and reducing brainpower can't work that out.

That's what I thought, but the rocker is the same from 18 to 22, just the arms that are 5mm different 🤔 🤷
