1 SET THE SAG<br />
We need to start with setting the sag on the shock, which<br />
seems a curious place to start, but you’ll soon see why.<br />
And this you should do before you go out to ride - do it in<br />
the workshop.<br />
Now know this - when an owner’s manual tells you to<br />
check the sag with the rider in full kit you MUST do this.<br />
Our test monkey (ape!) is 89kg in his day clothes, but in<br />
full enduro kit (that’s helmet, goggles, boots and gloves<br />
included) he’s a whopping 97kg, that’s 8kg more, a gain of<br />
10%. So kit up first or your suspension set-up won’t be accurate.
