    Makes sense.

    I know that if you turn them up (adjustment bolt 'in') fender/tire clearance increases, ride and suspension rebound 'stiffens', and suspension travel decreases.

    If you turn them down (adjustment bolt 'out') fender/tire clearance decreases, ride and suspension rebound 'softens', and suspension travel increases.
