SETTING SAG
Sag setup
Keep track of your personal settings to make it
more easy setting up your bike after different
type of terrain or to do a quick pre-ride control.
When controlling pressures be aware that the
pump takes up to 10 PSI when connected.
Note!
1
Make sure the high speed adjuster is in position 1 while
setting sag. Setting sag in position 2 or 3 will result in a
faulty setup.
1
Use­a­shock­absorber­pump­to­fill­up­the­
shock absorber. Start with 200 PSI.
Caution! ✋
Always remove the shock absorber pump before cycling
the shock otherwise there is a risk that the pump will
damage the frame or the shock absorber.
2
Cycle the shock a couple of times to even out
the pressure between the air chambers.
3
Set the O-ring (sag indicator) at the position
closest to the air sleeve.
4
Dressed in full riding gear, assume your
normal riding position on the bicycle.
5
Step off the bicycle and measure the distance
the O-ring (sag indicator) has moved.
General recommendations:
• too little sag: release air
•
