You<br />
The second reality is you, and your particulars.<br />
Are you heavy, light or in the middle?<br />
Do you stand or sit more? Do you ride<br />
aggressively, or click a higher gear and<br />
flow? Are you a newer guy, an ex-Pro or<br />
someone who is in good/bad shape? How<br />
is your form, what is your style of riding?<br />
Believe it or not all of this makes a huge<br />
difference in where your tuning efforts will<br />
end up-and having an honest conversation<br />
with the mirror is a great place to start.<br />
GETTING A BASELINE<br />
Now that you have a good understanding<br />
of these principles you can actually start<br />
to zero in on a better setup. With this in<br />
mind here’s we are going to first work on<br />
establishing your BASELINE SETTING.<br />
Once you have a good, comfortable baseline<br />
setting you can work on the fine tuning<br />
and/or adjusting for different conditions.<br />
NOTE: I am assuming that you have<br />
a basic understanding of your suspension<br />
clickers at this point. If you do not, read<br />
your manual or hit YouTube there are tons<br />
of videos that will explain their basic function.<br />
Later on I will delve into how/why we<br />
adjust each one, but a basic understanding<br />
will suffice to begin here.<br />
