yes, it can get quite complex. the problem is you really need a baseline to know which way to go. you can spend a lot of time guessing. before any shims are changed, proper springs need to be in there. or else you're just wasting time. for the amount of potential aggravation, i just send mine out. i'm a competent mechanic, have never had to take a bike to another shop to get fixed (and i've owned well over 400 bikes...), there are just some things you may want to leave to the specialists...... granted, mine are old school (wp 43) that many have already done all the trial and error on. so they are relatively simple - i could have done it myself, but i really wanted someone who works on them everyday to revalve.....experience is everything in suspension tuning.
