This guide is filled with data that
should provide yo
u with reasonably
accurate su
spension se
ttings.
How
ever, you
r riding style, th
e terrain you rid
e in, and
you
r pe
rson
al preferenc
es re
garding rid
e qu
ality are all im
portant
considerations th
at m
ay cause you
to want to set you
r bike up
diffe
rently. Go rig
ht ahe
ad. This gu
ide is a goo
d referenc
e, but
dont feel that you
ABS
OLU
TELY HAV
E to ru
n the setting
s we

mmen
d. Feel free to exp
erim
ent. If you really m
ess things up,
you can always set thing
s ba
ck to
the gu
ide reco
mmen
datio
ns
and start o
ver aga
in.
But b
efore you go
hog
-wild on the suspen
sion
, make sure th
at
everything
else is in order. The
re are a lot o
f tiny little th
ings th
at
can have a m
ajor im
pact on ho
w you
r bike hand
les:
Check you
r tire
pressure! If you
weigh
125 po
unds, you
proba
bly
dont n
eed to ru
n 50
psi in those tires. Likew
ise, if you
re tw
ice
that weigh
t, it might not be such
a goo
d idea to
roll with
20p
si.
Using a ga
uge, and
gettin
g used
to how
you
r tire
s feel at d
ifferen
t pressures, is one
of the
most impo
rtant A
ND least exp
ensive
aspe
cts of you
r bikes
handling.
Tigh
ten your quick releases! (if your bike has them
) The
re is
no black art to
QR skew
ers. The
y are simple cams that need
to be tig
hten
ed th
e rig
ht amou
nt to
hold your whe
els in place
co
rrectly. Loo
se QR skew
ers can make your bike feel wiggly and
poor handling, at b
est. At worst, the
y can make your whe
els try
to fall off
. Not goo
d. Make sure you
r whe
el is all the way in its
drop
out, centered
, and
tigh
t. A QR is prope
rly tigh
tene
d whe
n it
takes a firm eno
ugh pressure from
you
r hand while closing
it to
leave an im
print o
n your skin.
Eliminate slop
! Periodically che

ake sure
they are tigh
