Setting up suspension
« on: June 09, 2011, 06:22:18 PM »
I need some help setting up my suspension.
I would like to start with setting the sag properly.
This can be done with one extra person, but can be done easier with two.
I live in the western suburb (Plymouth)

Would greatly appreciate the help.

You really need at least two people to set up the sag.

just out of interest, how do you do it with two?
I use 3.  one on the bike, one measuring and one holding the bike upright.

Definitely easier to do it with 3 people, but with a rider who can do a good imitation of a stopped trials rider it can be done with 2 people.
