Grease_Monkey Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 What have you really contributed to this thread ? "Nothing"At least I gave him the PDF which by the way if you read it it's quite self explanatory.I also gave him a Starting Point Which is not "bull****" As you put it.It's widely used as a starting point.Suspension Setup is actually not "Rocket Science" and quite easily done if you follow the manufacturers setup instruction on PDF document or Hard copy.Setting SAG and Rebound is something that all riders should learn to do themselves as most of the cycle shops really have no clue. The answers are all in the documentation that comes from the Manufacturers of the Suspension.You are trying to lecture a suspension specialist on suspension set up. It is literally his job... he knows what he is talking about. What he contributed was the sag set-up suggestion. A much more widely accepted starting point than anything else. Watch any Youtube tutorial from Fox or Rock Shox and you will see this is the case. In any case... it's not Friday just yet.

I wont take them anywhere else.
Eddy Gordo Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Sorry OP, there is no need to feed the troll here, lets stay on topic. I am on a fox shock, I find I blow thru travel relatively easy. Fox dont have much mid travel support. So a re valve possibly.

I wont take them anywhere else.Me too I also fix bikes, for 30 years, The only thing I can't do is build wheels, Is there a course one can go on in Gauteng ?The web site says "Under Construction" I'll check again on Friday ! After the Braai of course.
Eddy Gordo Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Yeah, in reference to the name. Stoke suspension are supsension specialist, Hence why Droo told the op to make a turn
usxorf Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 http://www.ridefox.com/dl/bike/605-00-164-FLOAT-DPS-Tuning-Guide-white-revA.pdf Ballpark Your body weight in PSI (fork)Twice your body weight in PSI (Shock) Body weight is in Kg 1Kg=1PSI Add +- 5 psi that will escape when you remove the pump.When you remove the pump you don't "lose" 5psi. The air escaping when you remove the pump is from the pump hose - the pressure in the hose is the same as the shock. The reason the shock reads 5psi lower (when you reattach the pump to get a reading) is air from the shock filling the pump hose.

Pulse Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It's quite obvious that he came here to pick up business.What ever dude!I don't even know him personally, but from reading his very helpful comments over the years I (and many others) have learned a lot. He has helped LOTS of riders on here troubleshoot their setup for free! Would you mind stopping with your trolling already?

And doesn't know how to build a wheel... And thinks bodyweight x a fixed figure is a good way to get a "ballpark" setting on a shock regardless of the leverage ratio on the bike you're on. Fork - yes. Even then, different people prefer different sag levels, based on how hard they ride and how many tokens they've got in the fork.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It's quite obvious that he came here to pick up business.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No, their reputation is good enough that people go there out of recommendation from others. Andrew^2 are also pretty good fellas.
Grease_Monkey Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It's quite obvious that he came here to pick up business.Lol! NO ONE here thinks that. Look at his post count, search in the forums for his contributions - there are many! I have called him from Pretoria and he helped me out with some advice - I didn't even spend a cent there.
marko35s Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It will work fine on the OP's Bike. I did give him the PDF for Sag Setup.Ballpark means starting point eg (Ballpark tyre pressure for car tyres is 2 Bar) And anyway, I wasn't talking to you.Ooh you are precious...The general assumption around here will be to listen to Droo because, shockingly, he is really good at what he does and knows what he is talking about.
marko35s Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It's quite obvious that he came here to pick up business.You have no clue. At all.Last time I saw Droo he was doing a free service on my kids shock.Why? Because he wanted to do something nice for somebody or, maybe I was missing the point and he was just trolling for business...You really need to take a deep breath and calm it down.

I did give him the PDF for Sag Setup.Ballpark means starting point eg (Ballpark tyre pressure for car tyres is 2 Bar) And anyway, I wasn't talking to you.Sheesh, I've got the exact same bike as the OP and weigh 80kg. If I ran 160psi I would be sitting at 50% sag. Trek recommends 210psi for my weight. The 2x formula is way out the ballpark for this bike.
Hairy Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 It's quite obvious that he came here to pick up business.......clowns clowns everywhere ..... everywhere you look there are clowns.......
