As a general rule, you should have
30-33%
of your shocks travel
devoted to
Sag
. The faster you ride, the more energy you are putting
into the bike. Being honest with your assessment of yourself as a rider
is the first step to getting your bike set up for you. Please Note: When
adjusting preload, check with your shock manufacturers specification for
max preload since the coil may ‘bottom-out’ before the stroke of the
shock
To Increase Early Travel Support,
decrease spring rate
and/or add preload.
To Increase End Travel Support,
you can either add BV
pressure or increase spring rate and/or decrease preload.
BOOST VOLUME (via bottom-out control):
I do not recommend changing the boost volume to anything lower
than full open, as the dw-link DHR has ramp built into its leverage ratio.
HSC:
These settings were based on a rocky East Coast test track. If
you are on a smoother track with bermed corners and less square edges,
you can increase HSC. If You are riding at World Cup speeds, you can
increase HSC. If You feel the bike slowing down through rocky sections,
you may be running too much HSC. If a ‘Plusher’ ride is desired, run
less HSC.
LSC:
Unless you pedal like a gorilla, really getting your hips into the
action, you shouldn't need any additional LSC.
