Default My Sag Numbers

Hey Guys, well I measured my Sag numbers and got the following readings.

Front: 38mm
Rear: 30mm

I am partial to leaving things as they are. I feel that 10mm in the rear considering some reading error is not worth it. What do you think?

Rider's SAG
30mm - 35mm forks
25mm - 30mm shock
Static SAG
20mm forks
10mm shock

The measurements you posted are fine. What's the bike doing that you're wanting to change.

Actually I just wanted to get the Sag within proper range. Thats how the bike came with Metz K3's and sag as mentioned. Guess I lucked out. I had no complaints just thought it would be good to check.

Looks like you got the sag within the range. I'd be interested in seeing the free sag numbers and your body weight.

The challenge now turns to damping the machine properly. I've been lead to believe the damping on these bikes is less than optimal, but for street use it's very subjective.

Don't be afraid of the adjusters. We learn when we try different things.
