mtbrider Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Hi fellow hubbers. I need some help with my bike setup. I have a Giant Anthem X with a monarch RT3 shock fitted. In order to get the right sag of 20% i need to pump the shock 275+ psi. The max as indicated is 275 psi. I must agree i am heavy weighing 100 kg. So the questions are:Is there something wrong with the shock?Is pumping the shock to its max normal?Will it still improve as the shock is still new?Is 20% sag the best setup for xc/open roads? It says MM on the side of the shock if that helps. I appreciate all your inputs. Regards
Vinnydabutcher Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 RockShox run much lower press oppose to Fox I use to run 190 psi on my Spearfish - same bike - 250psi on RP23. Check the manufactures recommendations.

Rp23 was most likely a boost valve variety or one with higher volume than the RS you had.
mtbrider Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Thanx for the inputs so far. Does volume spacers mean I send it in and they do their magic? Any LBS?
