The Basics: Sorry, but it's true. The basic stuff is some of the most important. So let's review some of the key things that need checking in order to optimize suspension performance. More>>

 

Sag: Setting the sag serves two purposes, first it ensures that the bike rides in the position the chassis designer intended it to. Second, by checking the sag you will catch and mistakes you have made when choosing springs or setting preload. More>>
