Been watching the Shock Therapy video's Skinz put out and I have ... a few .. questions I'd like to hear other's opinions on, specifically about sag.

Videos:

Current Setup:

  • 163 2.6. Non Clicker WE revalved by Carls.
  • 220lb full rider weight.
  • OEM RTS Spring

Preload set to Carl's Defaults:
  • Front Shocks 10 1/4
  • FTS 8 5/16
  • RTS 10 5/8.

The video suggests that you should start adjusting from a specific amount of sag on both the front shocks and the rear of the tunnel. Specifically 3/4" - 1" on the front shocks, and 2 - 3 inches as measured @ the rear tunnel.

With either the Carls defaults or the OEM settings I am 1.5" of sag on the front shocks and 1 inch of sag on the tunnel @ full rider weight.

Questions:


  • Are the specs outlined invalid without the fox float's?
  • What are other people doing for a starting point?
  • I have noticed its harder to get on edge after my revalve, do I not have enough transfer now based on these measurements?

noob looking for input. :face-icon-small-hap
