SAG adj MC250
Just got my 05 MC250. I expected a stiff suspension, but the rear was so tight, there was no static sag and it took pressure to get any sag.
I got set to adjust and read the "FAQ; Suspension baseline settings" and it recommended starting with 10-15mm preload. I measured my spring and then loosened it and found that it had previously only had maybe 5-6mm preload. I assume I must be running a different spring. I'll give it my best guess to try to match the forks, but I know it was way too stiff before with no hint of static sag.
Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on sag numbers. I know my 50mm forks are quite a bit stiffer than the 45mm, so I assume I want to try to balance out the front and rear. I weigh about 190 and ride mostly woods. I like a stiff suspension, but it was at the point of being a hardtail.
