SETTING AND ADJUSTING SAG (air Shocks)
cont’d
Sag Recommendations chart (air shocks)
1. Pump the main air chamber to a psi equal to 100% of rider
weight in pounds (2.2lb = 1kg).
2. Push the rubber O-ring that is around the shock shaft all the
way against the base of shaft (closest to shock body).
3. Position the bicycle next to a wall so that they can sit on the
bike with both feet on the pedals while steadying themself
with one arm. Have them gently sit on the saddle without
bouncing. Get them to dismount gently without bouncing and
take note of how far the O-ring has moved down the shaft.
Measure the distance the O-ring has moved (Figure 2).
4. Add or remove air until desired shock movement is ob-
tained. To achieve a high level of accuracy it’s best to carry
out this procedure while the rider is wearing a normal riding kit
including shoes, hydration pack, any tools, etc. The shock
pump must be removed every time you check the sag.
NOTES
Please refer to the shock manufacturer’s technical manual for minimum and maximum
working pressures for the shock. Refer to the Sag Recommendation Guide on the next
page for proper sag measurement.
If there is no O-ring on the shock body or you cannot clearly see the shock shaft then
please use the method for coil sprung bikes using the eye-to-eye measurement as
described on Page iii of this manual.
