Pls Help Shock setup!!!!!

[Kritzie]

Bought a Merida 96 3000 how do I set up my rear x fusion 02 RC shock.

 

Have been riding and it feels very soft!

 

Is there a web site were I can find the recommended settings???

Measure the stroke rate, sit on the bike with all your weight. move the travel o-ring guide all the way to the dust wiper, or alternatively mount a cable tie..

 

Get off the bike and measure the sag, 25 % should be fairly good.

Didnt the bike come with a manual or anything?

 

I take it you have searched the Merida website already...

There is an instruction manual of sorts for download.

Tx have tried the web site of merida, and the instruction manual from x fusion is useless. Thought there might be an indication on weight/psi ratio somewhere!!!!

1. I agree with Summit. Get fully dressed with your cylcing gear and goodies.

2. Push the o-ring all the way against the shock.

3. Get on the bike a smooth as possible

4. Dismount

5. Measure the distance the o-ring moved (from shock). It should be aound 25% depending on how plush / firm you like it.
