Large – Riders 6’ and up (183cm +)
FOES Shaver FRAME GEOMETRY
Sag can be measured at the rear wheel’s axle or at the shock. These instruc-
tions approach this measurement at the shock. Your FOX Shock should have
5/8” to 3/4” (5.75” travel) of sag when the rider’s full weight with gear is at rest
on
bicycle. The best way to do this is to have someone check the total length
of
your shock, eye to eye, while you are feet on the pedals and balanced on
the
bike on level ground. You can use a nearby wall to assist you in your
balancing… but don’t lean against it – this will give a false measurement.
Next (or first), measure the length of your shock at rest (bike lifted at the rear
and allowing the shock to fully extend). The difference of these two measure-
ments is your sag.
SETTING TOTAL SAG
expensive damage to your swingarm from occurring. If these were stronger
and more resistant to bending and breaking, there is a good chance that
these forces would bypass the hangers and destroy the area of the frame
attached to the hangers. Derailleur Hangers are available from your Foes
Dealer for a nominal fee, and are not covered under any of the Foes warran-
ties. It is a good idea to purchase a few extra hangers to prevent a breakage
from interrupting your riding time. The part numbers for the derailleur hangers
for the Shaver (FOES axle / Shimano axle) are HA08S ,
and Shaver (Sram axle) are HA09.
To
adjust the sag you must adjust the spring’s preload. This is done by
unlocking (loosening the ring’s allen set screw) and turning the retaining ring.
To
get more sag turn the ring counter-clockwise (this will extend the spring).
To
get less sag turn the retaining ring clockwise (this will compress the
spring). Be sure to re-lock the retaining ring! Only through spending the time
testing and re-testing will you get proficient at sag setting. Foes recommends
that you do not touch your sag until you are very familiar with how your rear
suspension works and feels.
