SUSPENSION SETTINGS
ACCESORIES:
- ChainStay Slapper protector
- seatpost clamp
Suspension settings are a matter of personal preference. Some riders like it plush, some like it
firm. However here are some suggestions of shock settings that you can use as basic guidelines.
Typically, the Defina should run with about 20% to 30% sag. To measure sag, push the bottom-out
bumper up the shock shaft until it meets the body of the shock. Gently stand up on the pedals
with all your weight on the bike (fully kitted up with body armour, helmet, neck brace, hydration
pack, etc. – it’s important to make the situation as ‘real world’ as possible to give you the most accu-
rate results) and note how far the bumper displaces
