dazco- on some fork models it isn't as noticable. Just go ride it and tinker, you will be able to feel the difference. That's a good bike, if you don't have any adjustment I would take it to the shop and have them go over it. If they balk, pick another bike and have them try the "cycling" as I described above, that way you will have something to compare it to. I have seen some xc forks that did adjust, although not enough to be able to "see" it.
