Default Suspension Database...Could you please add your setup?

Hey guys,
After scolling through pages and pages of threads for certain suspension settings I thought it may be benificial to start up a database on suspension.
I am not sure how well this will work but time and entries will tell.
There is so much involved and no doubt I will overlook something so if you think of anything else let me know.

I know everyone i sdifferent and we all like different settings but if we all have our settings in one place and say exactly what has been done at least we have a starting point for someone to look at with regards to weights ,setups etc.

Lets see how it goes.

I will insert mine after this trip I am about to go on as they will probably be different to what they are now.

All you need to do is copy the list below, ( sorry about the length), and then paste it into your reply.
Hopefully this will help someone in the future...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weight of Rider =
Year of bike =
Type of bike =
Type of Forks =
Type of Shocks =
Fork spring rate =
Shock spring rate =

Bike and Rider Sag Settings:
Front bike sag (without rider) =
Front rider sag =
Rear bike sag (without rider) =
Rear rider sag =

All Clicker settings are from fully wound clockwise...
Fork rebound clicker =
Fork Compression clicker =
Fork/Shock Valving (Stock or Revalved) =
Shock (high speed..outer dial) setting =
Shock (low speed ..inner screw) setting =
Shock rebound( linkage screw) setting =

Fork oil weight and brand (if known) =
Fork oil air gap( to top of fork) =
New or old oil (recently changed??) =

Results :
Type of riding you do =
How you like your suspension to feel =
Fast or slow rider (be honest) =

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks again guys ,
I am not sure how to put this all in a database as the list is so long but we will see how we go.

Cheers Mark
