Fixed a thing today!
Rear shock has been getting more and more saggy to the point I can flat foot (2 years ago it was barely tip toes) despite winding on more preloaded, assumed sprung was slowly weakening.
Turned out the hydraulic preloaded adjuster has just been slowly loosing it's fluid (to wrong side of Master piston), took it apart, cleaned up, new random o ring from a Reba build kit seems to fit nice, new shimano mineral oil, boom, have around 47 of my 50 clicks of preloaded now instead of around 12 of 50 yesterday (75kg rider should be 20 clicks).
Rides great now.
