Note that you have to mount the Fox Rear Shock always

Coil-Over-Shock:
For the adjustment of the negative travel (SAG) of
Nitrous it is really important to check first if the coil fits
to the weight of the rider.
Recommended coil:

Inline we will have size S with coil 500 x 2.25 for 65-75
kg rider weight, size M with coil 600 x 2.25 for 75-85 kg
and size L with coil 700 x 2.25 for 85-95 kg rider weight.
If the recommended coil for the weight of the rider is
mounted on the bike, you can start to adjust the SAG.
With an eye-to eye distance of 200mm and a shock tra-
vel of 57mm we recommend a SAG between 25-30% of
the shock travel which means 15-18mm.
When sitting on the bike there should be an eye-to-eye
distance of 172-175mm.
An easy way to control the SAG is to use the SAG-Boy
on the back of this manual.
The SAG-Boy is with middle length of 173mm
on the back of the manual.
We recommend a minimum preload of the coil of
2-3 turns of the preload cup and a maximum preload
of 7-8 turns.
In case you need more or less preload please use
a softer or harder coil.
For further information concerning the rear shock please
read the attached manual of the rear shock producer.
