What PSI should Fox shocks be?
Do not exceed 300 psi (20.7 bar), the maximum FLOAT air pressure! Remove the pump. Sit still on the bike in your normal riding position, using a wall or a tree for support. Pull the sag indicator o-ring up against the rubber air sleeve seal.
How much psi do I need in my rear shock?
For the rear shock, start at about half of your rider weight for air pressure. You will have to adjust from here, but you will want to achieve the proper SAG for your frame, as recommended by your frame manufacturer. Typically this is somewhere between 30-40% of overall travel.
How much psi should I put in my shock?
What PSI should my air shocks be? The proper pressure of an air shock should be between 35 and 75 PSI.
How is Fox shock size measured?
The most accurate method for shock measurement:
- Measure the eye to eye length.
- Attach a shock pump and slowly remove all the air from the shock.
- Compress the shock fully and measure the eye to eye length again.
- Subtract this measurement from the initial eye to eye length to find the usable stroke. (ie. 185 – 132.5 = 52.5)
How much air should I put in my Fox fork?
To achieve the best performance from your FOX suspension, adjust the air pressure to attain your proper sag setting. Sag is the amount your suspension compresses under your weight and riding gear. Sag range should be set to 15–20% of total fork travel.
How do you adjust Fox shocks for soft riding?
When you decrease rebound damping by turning the adjustment knob counter-clockwise, you allow the shock to extend faster. It feels softer, more supple, and livelier. When you increase rebound damping by turning the adjustment knob clockwise, you make the shock extend slower.
What does low speed rebound do?
Most of your time is likely spent in the first 2/3 of your travel, where the Low speed rebound circuit controls things. That’s why most forks and shocks only include an external control for Low speed rebound – it gives you the most noticeable tuning adjustments.
