From scratch
I have done some searching and reading guys and there is more info on here that I can?t wrap my mind around. First off, I have never setup a suspension in my life. I think I know what I have on the bike but need to fine tune it. I have a Ohlins rear spring and shock. 5.2kg spring, I am about 185-190 decked out for riding. My fork tubes are flush with triple clamps. I believe the forks are setup for a rider about my size but not sure.
I read the sticky about preload vs static sag vs race sag?.. I sort of understand, sort of. I guess I need to start with spring preload first. How do I check that? I?m assuming I unload the spring with the adjuster but while it?s on a stand, then adjust I think 14mm for the Ohlins 5.2 spring. Is this measured at the spring itself? And does this directly correlate to static sag? This ought to get me started anyway. I think the race sag is pretty straight foreward, but by adjusting all these at the same adjuster on the spring I feel like they all affect each other. Correct preload would in turn also equal correct static sag. Race sag adjustment would also effect preload settings wouldnt it?
