recently ive been cutting out the pies and riding more. I thought my forks were starting to play up then i realised in the last few months ive got down to twelve stone after losing a stone and ten pounds. So i took out some air and voila they ride propely again lol ๐Ÿ™‚ oh by the way is it ten percent of travel sag on setup ?

10% is on the firm side, but it depends on the fork and rideer really. 15-25% is closer IMO, less on short forks, more on longer ones. But that's just me. ๐Ÿ™‚

Depends on the forks but usually around 15-25% sat on the bike innit? Just eat some more pies.

10% is nothing! 25% is more like it.

I've lost about 3/4 (three quarters) stone since initially setting them up. Out for a ride tomorrow night so will let some air out i think!
