After filling the shock absorbers remove the air pump. Push the
rubber ring on the shock absorber directly onto the air chamber.
Then sit on your bike. Your body weight deflects the springs of the
shock absorber. This avoids luffing. The rubber ring marks the ma-
ximum spring deflection of the damper. This displacement allows
you to determine the sag.
The correct setting has been reached when the damper compresses
20% of the maximum damping stroke when subjected your body
weight.
