[#569805]

I've just finished building a Superlight & set up the shock sag. SC website suggests for my weight, 14st'ish about 150psi'ish.
120 psi seams to give about near 10mm sag but on first ride last night this still felt to hard. Riding without ProPedal switched on.
Shock has standard size air can.

Whats everyone else with a Superlight riding pressure wise?

[url= http://www.tftunedshox.com/faq/tips.aspx ]or look at the TF tune shock set up guide[/url] (under sag and how to measure it)

(superlight uses 7.875 x 2.0"/ 200x50mm shock size)

I did hear that you do what they say + 10% as they sag to much.

I think it's more about personal choice. I run mine stiffer than normal, as I live in a very rocky area and it tends then to loosen up (or I might feel that) towards the end of the ride.

Not much help. Sorry

I'd experiment and use what suits you rather than wory about guidelines.

what cynic-al says. set the sag and go - ignore what the gage says until you've got it right. then try and remember that number if you need to re-set it.
