never preload the spring more than 20mm (3/4").... If you need to the spring is to
soft....

Just a thought... with the RX3 having limited travel & the setting you are trying for being
more suited to bikes with round 300mm / 12" of travel..
Maybe you should be looking at a soft road bike set up..
is 10mm static sag & 25% rider sag..
