The damping rate has very little to do with the rider's weight. That's the spring's job.

True, in the first place. Spring rate and preload is selected and set, according to rider weight, bike weight, weight distribution, etc. Basically use the recommended spring rate, and set sag by altering preload.
But a stiffer spring/more preload will try to make the fork extend quicker, since there is more spring force. So wouldn't that require a bit more rebound damping?
Just wondering..

It gets complicated pretty quick... :pop:
