As a follow up.... if the pinch bolt is backed off too far, the preload adjuster will just spin apparently. It needs to be engaged a little bit, but still loose enough to spin to snug up. I had absent mindedly opened it up too far before I start turning the preload ring. Thanks for all the help!

Will do! In the meantime, the preload ring is essentially just to take up play from the cranks right? So if there is no play, and all the major stuff is torqued to spec, it's not likely a major issue right?

I am installing sram transmission with the dub wide spacing for the first time. I am used to standard sram eagle. When I turn the preload ring it just spins, it never really snugs up. I am used to feeling it start to snug up and then backing it off a hair with my standard gx eagle stuff. There isn't...
