Fork / shock help needed

[martinsnyman]

Hi There,

 

I have a fox float rl fork and a DT swiss m210 rear shock.How do I know which pressures to operate them at?

 

Also my rear shock has a remote lock out, but does not seem to lock. If I press the lock out switch I seem to have the same travel with the same amount of effort as in unlock mode. Is it supposed to be stiff like when you lock out the fork?

 

Thank you

OK, I found a chart with pressure to rider weight on the fork, but cannot seem to find something similar on the shock?

Have a look for recommended sags for your type of riding and use that along with what you have as a starting pont and tweak from there. Take your pump on some rides dedicated to dialing your suspension in. Ride short bumpy a few times in a row playing with settings so you get an idea how your suspension works and if your lockout is faulty or not.

Thanks, good advice will do!

Remember to be fully kitted up when you set sag. Anal, but you are going to ll this effort so might as well.

For the lockout, check that the cable is pulling far enough. It may have slipped in the clamp on the shock. If that doesn't work, it's service time.
