Just finishing building up my el guapo and wondered how other people had set up their CCDB air so that I can use that as a starting point for setting mine up
Thanks
Ian
Email cane creek, they usually have test riders base line settings for different bikes. Malcolm@canecreek.com used to be the right address, he's the brand manager for their shocks.
There are base tunes on the website but not for the el guapo so just thought I would ask how other people have set theirs up

I emailed them 2 weeks ago and haven't had a single reply.
It took me a few rides to get mine tuned for the Blood - there's no point me giving you the setting as they're quite different suspension characteristics. One thing worth mentioning, however, is that a few reviews/forum threads (particularly the mojo MTBR forum) have reported that if you turn the adjusters too far out they can come 'unscrewed' .
I'd email cane creek support for the settings as well.
When you do get a reply it starts with this.
"Run 2-3 turns preload on the spring. You'll want about 27-31% sag (measured at the shock).
Open all adjusters counter clockwise. Be careful with the low speed adjusters they have small clicks, [b]when you get near the end of the adjustment range and you feel resistance STOP[/b].
Now Turn Adjusters clockwise to settings below."
Pridds have you got any pics of build as iam thinking of buying one myself.Emsil is ianmarcovitch@googlemail.com
I'll email some pics over when it's done, just waiting for a bb cup with new bearing and its done
Happy days what colour ?

i'm running the following on my CCDB Air
HSC: 3
LSC: 15
HSR: 2
LSR: 9
use this link to help set it up [url= http://forums.mtbr.com/9390123-post139.html ]click me[/url] it's worth spending a couple of hours fiddling with it and finding what's best for you tough as everyone is different....
It's a super raw frame.
Thanks Rob that is ideal, that pinkbike article is quite in depth!
Setting this up with a set of 36RC2's might get a bit complicated but i will end up with a bike tat i don't have to keep fiddling with whenever i get to a different section of trail.
One question, when you were setting the sag did you have LSC set to 0 so it didn't interfere with the sag setting?
when i set the sag everything was bang in the middle... and i set it to 33%...
