I ride a iant Anthem X 2010 with RP3 shock. Yesterday I went through the process of setting 25% sag, but am a bit worried whether I've got this right. I ended up with about 160psi, which seems quite high, but the sag is definitely right. Anybody got any thoughts based on their own experience?

I think the lint is 300psi so you'll be fine mate my five is at over 260!

The shocks will take a max. of 300psi so your fine.

Different suspension designs will require different pressures for the same shock and rider, my Kona with an RP3 runs at about 225psi my Pinnacle had an RP2 and i only had to put 110psi in.

RP3s require loads of pressure - my Reign with a manitou Swinger needs about 150 psi, using an RP3 on the same frame, over 250 psi.

Maybe this is why Fox Air shocks always feel so 'sticky' to me - the seals have to be so darn tight??
