In general always follow this procedure, when adjusting your suspension:īefore setting sag, it is necessary to turn all dials to the fully open position. If you are riding on steeper terrain or smoother trails, you may want to alter your setup a little. Our setup guide may differ slightly from Fox’s stock guidelines because our settings are calibrated in the rocky southwest terrain.Ĭonsider these recommendations as a starting point. Use the dedicated tools and a bike stand. For a spring change on coil shocks, you need to take the shock off the bike. To set up sag on coil shocks, you will need a tape measure. You will need a 2 mm, 3 mm, and 6 mm Allen key for setting up Fox Float X2 and DHX2 shocks. Most importantly, you will need a shock pump for bike suspension to set sag.ĭamping adjustments on Fox and Marzocchi forks, as well as Fox Float DPS, Float DPX2 and Float X will not require tools. To set up your suspension, you only need a few tools. High-Speed: High-speed damping works for loads that result in high shaft speeds at compression or extension like square-edged bumps. Low-Speed: Low-speed damping works for loads that result in low shaft speeds at compression or extension, like weight shifts. Adjust to the fully closed position by turning the dial clockwise or to “+” or “FIRM”. The fully open position can be reached by turning counterclockwise or to “–”. Compression dials are blue and black for all Fox products and either way golden or black for Marzocchi suspension. Compression: Compression controls how firm the fork or shock will react to bumps or weight shifts. Adjust to the fullyĬlosed position by turning the dial clockwise or to “+”. Rebound dials on all Fox and Marzocchi suspensions are red. Rebound: Rebound controls how fast your fork or shock extends after being compressed.
Click: Dials on suspension usually feature an indication, that you can feel or hear, when turning the dial. Sag describes how far your bike willĬompress under your weight, when the bike is at rest. Sag: Sag is measured in millimeters or given as a percentage of the overall travel. Tipp: Scan to follow along with Pivot Factory Racing star Bernard Kerr as he shows you how to set up sag.
