NotSoBigBen Posted October 25, 2009 Share Anyone can give any advice regarding setting up one of these? Pressure in the black and red 'chambers'?The manual says start with 50 in the SPV and 75% of rider weight in the black but it feels pretty soft to me. I will only ride it on Tuesday so was just wondering ....... will take the shock pump with! My F100X is going for a service so using this till I get it back.

techguy Posted October 26, 2009 Share The manual give those figures as a starting point, keep 50 in the red SPV and as a guide line I weigh 63kg and I pumped my Skareb to 110psi, also keep in mind if you are not using the full travel on the average ride then the fork is too hard... The SPV is the amount of force it takes to make the fork compress, The long term is Stable Platform Valve so the more presure in the SPV the harder the fork has to be compressed before it moves, very similar to the Fox Terra Logic system...

NotSoBigBen Posted October 26, 2009 Share Thanks man! Guess I'll start at 110 as I weigh a 'bit' more than you ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted October 26, 2009 Share So settled on 60 in the SPV and 140 in the 'black', had a lekker ride after that! Rode some of the technical stuff at Rietvlei Zoo Farm (no not the 24 hour stuff ....) and used most of the travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
