I had my new to me 2007 out for my first ride and gotta say it's just like you guys on the forum have described.
I would like to dial in the rear suspension and am trying to wrap my head around on how to go about doing this.
I have studied the "Sag" concept and half ways understand it. Take the 2 measurements and subtract and proper sag should be equivalent to 1/3 of wheel travel.
I know lifting the bike with a jack gets the extended height but how do you get the compressed height to determine what total wheel travel is?
Another issue is that the previous owner had installed a Progressive 465 with RAP but 1" lower than stock #465-5014B. I found the specs for the shock extended and compressed measurements but would be tricky to measure 1/3 of that at the shock travel while sitting on the bike.
Any insights?
