SETTING AND ADJUSTING SAG (Air Shocks)

1.Pump the main air chamber to a psi equal to 100% of rider weight in pounds (2.2lb = 1kg).

2.Push the rubber O-ring that is around the shock shaft all the way against the base of shaft (closest to shock body).

3.Position your bicycle next to a wall so that you can sit on the bike with both feet on the pedals while steadying yourself with one arm. Gently sit on the saddle without bouncing. Dismount gently without bouncing and look at how far the O-ring has moved down the shaft. Measure distance O-ring has moved (figure 6).

4.Add or remove air until desired shock movement is obtained. To achieve a high level of accuracy it’s best to carry out this procedure whilst wearing normal riding kit including shoes, hydration pack, any tools and spares etc. The shock pump must be removed every time you check the sag.

NOTES – Please refer to the shock manufacturer’s technical manual for minimum and maximum working pressures for your shock.

Shock Body

Refer to the Sag Recommendation Guide on the next page for proper sag measurement.

NOTES –if there is no O ring on the shock body or you cannot clearly see the shock shaft then please use the method for coil sprung bikes using the eye to eye measurement as described on page 12.
