I think I'm zeroing in on some Race Tech Emulators or Ricor Intiminators + properly sized springs + fresh, quality oil in the forks then one of the higher-quality offers for the rear. Possibly Ohlins, these Pro-Actions, or JRI.. undecided. Looks like Race Tech has a G3-S offer as well. It's an IFP design. Although it doesn't look to add much tun-ability. The Ohlins S36DR1L is length adjustable which is neat. Can adjust ride-height and geometry. Cool.

Yep..always happens once “you know who” pops up. Countless threads with lots of good information have been deleted because of him.
I’ll add this...I’ve been a lifelong CNC machinist (35 years) ..I do know the how to back off the nylon set screw in the Ohlins adjusting collar. It was backed out SEVERAL TURNS BEFORE TRYING TO ADJUST
What you are seeing is the difference in collar design, and the difference in the hard coated Pro-Action shock (which is HARD) versus the COLOR ONLY ANODIZE of the Ohlin (which is soft)

No, it’s not the preload causing the issue really, although it is a contributing factor. Just as you see with your plastic ring, it probably adjusts fairly easily as there isn’t any real friction between aluminum and the non-aluminum collar. The Pro Action is hard anodized..which makes it basically a “slick” thread surface. You then couple that with a collar that is split and a lower percentage of thread engagement and you have an extremely smooth, freely spinning collar. Plastic (or more than likely a delrin, or some other phonelic material) collars probably spin pretty smooth as well, and have sufficient strength to compress the spring. Having two soft aluminum surfaces up against each other and a high percentage of thread engagement just makes the other brand susceptible to the material transferring from one surface to the other...
