You dont need it. i set at about 20 - 25% 0f the stroke. i have EX8. and the sag meter says 25 - 20% 0n it.
if your local to bradford you can have it. i never use itPosted 2 years ago # -
so if i test the shock at a low pressure say 80psi to measure the full length of the stroke then add pressure to set sag at about a qtr of that i should be good to go?

ok just been out to the garage with sag meter.
elastic band round shock pushed up to top. sit on bike and set air so elastic band is in line with sag meter. measurement from top of shock is 2cm.
basically 2cm of sag. hope that helps.

try this link
http://www.trekbikes.com/pdf/2010/suspension/fuelex.pdfcheck out the video too. you'll need to compress at least 50% to activate 2nd air chamber in rear shock.
good luck

13stone fuel Ex8 '09 - I run it at 145-150psi - I think it's the same shock as Ex9 Fox RP2 VX (large air volume) probably a bit less for you - 140psi?
