Apologize as this would have been covered previously - dozen times !
Whats a good basic guild/starting point...
Got the new 2016 160mm 29er and I can't seemed to get it dialled in right, I'm 85kg kitted up and it just feels shite ! ... thats being a bit harsh tbh
I assume its already fitted with a token from the factory ?
I understand that it'll be personal ride setup to trails and conditions but where do you start.
A bit more info as to what exactly you don't like about it would help, but start with:
25% sag
One token (it probably has none in it)
Turn low speed compression damping right down, only a couple of clicks from fully open
Rebound in the middle, then spend your first few rides adjusting that. Aim for a point where it's as fast as possible without bucking or being out of control from larger hits.
Google is your friend if you let it ...
For example ..
