Tips and Tricks for Getting the Most Out of Your Shock Set Up

In addition to keeping your shock clean and maintaining it, there are other really important aspects to dialing in your ride. For example, taking the time to properly set sag can be the difference between a ride that leaves you wanting to share stories and one that has you wishing you’d stayed home. A good starting point for shock sag is to go with the bike manufacturers recommended value; they’ll know the amount the suspension design works best with. If you don’t have that information, start at around 25% of the total shock travel, and you can fine tune from there. Sag is easily adjusted with a quality shock pump and increasing or decreasing the air pressure to suit.

From there you’ll want to get the rebound right. Rebound damping is what controls how quickly your suspension returns to its original state after compressing to absorb a bump. If set too fast, traction will suffer and your bike won’t hold a line. If set too slow your suspension will “pack up” and not be ready to absorb the next series of obstacles. Whatever your needs, whatever your skill level, our knowledge and experience will help you get the most out of your ride. Call or stop in today to drop off your suspension. We strive to hit 48-hour turnaround times, so you spend more time on the trail.
