is it important to set sag and how often shud it be done...im alittle clue-less lol all i know is that you have to sit in your bike in full bike gear very gently and tie wrap the fork or something. ? then what ? can someone explain this procedure and how oftenshud it be done...cheers.. 😀
Only need to do it once unless you lose/gain a lot of weight. Depends on the forks but usually you should use about 20-30% of the travel just sat on your bike in all your gear. Use a cable tie to measure it.
Check out your forks manual for their recommendations. Ideally you should be pretty much bottoming out the fork maybe once or twice on a ride, otherwise you are not using all the travel.
i dont have a manuel.... ... sometimes i nearly bottom out (i think) but im not very heavy really i only weigh 8 stone. 140mm of travel are my forks..fox forks on the 'orange five' pro bike.. had my bike for a few months now.... my other bike is a specialized hard tail and only had 80mm of travel..rockshox recon race. so the fox forks on my full sus are alot better !
