With the air pump attached to the shock valve, slowly cycle your shock through 25% of its travel 10 times as you reach your desired pressure. This will equalize the positive and negative air chambers and will change the pressure on the pump gauge.
Do not exceed 300 psi
, the maximum FLOAT air pressure!
How much air do I put in my rockshox rear shock?
How do I pump up my rear air shocks?
How much pressure should be in my shocks?
I’ve heard that as a general rule of thumb I should set the
front shocks to 100% my body weight in terms of psi, and the rear shocks to 75% my weight
(i.e. Front shocks at 110 psi and rear shocks at ~78 psi).
What PSI is FOX DPX2?
Do not exceed maximum air pressure: FLOAT DPS and DPX2 air shocks have a maximum air pressure of
350 psi
.
How do you adjust rear shock pressure?
How much pressure should I put in my rear shock?
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
25–30% of total shock travel
.
How much PSI is in a fork?
| Suggested Starting Points for Setting Sag | Rider Weight (lbs) Rider Weight (kgs) 34 FLOAT Pressure (psi/ bar) | 120-130 54-59 58psi/ 4.0 bar | 130-140 59-64 63psi/ 4.3 bar | 140-150 64-68 68psi/ 4.7 bar |
|---|
How much air should I put in my mountain bike shocks?
Eyeball it or use a ruler to measure. If less than 30 percent of the stanchion is showing below the o-ring, unscrew the valve cap on your shock and, using a shock pump, add air—
about 10 PSI at a time
.
How do you pump up a rear shock on a mountain bike?
Can you use a normal pump for shocks?
A regular pump completely prevents the rider from accurately setting a shock
because it transfers a lot of air and doesn’t have the bleed valve found on shock pumps. The bleed valve allows users to fine-tune the shock’s settings by incrementally removing air.
How do you pump a mountain bike shock?
How much air should I run in my air shocks?
For a manual system, you should have
a minimum of 20 PSI
in the shocks. When under load, add only enough air pressure to maintain level ride height. More air isn’t better; it will change the ride height which will lead to ride harshness and damage to suspension parts.
How do I pump my bike shocks?
How much air should I put in my suspension?
How much air should I put in my Fox Float shock?
Setting Shock Air Pressure
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
25–30% of total shock travel
.
How do I set up DPX2 shock?
How do I setup my Fox 38?
How much sag do you get from rear suspension?
For the rear shock –
20% – 30%
sag is recommended. For the most part, this can be used across the board for trail bikes and downhill bikes. Again, keep in mind you may want more or less sag depending on your bike, weight, and riding preferences. For the front fork- 10% sag is recommended.
How do you adjust rear suspension?
How do you set rebound on rear shocks?
To set your suspension’s rebound damping,
find a kerb. Dial off all your rebound damping to minimum. Ride off the kerb, while standing up on the pedals, at slow to mid-paced speed
. Your suspension will probably compress, quickly re-extend (past the sag point), compress again and then re-extend again.
How do you add air to shocks?
What pressure should I run in my forks?
Start with the recommended air pressure for your weight. If that is not known, try 100psi
. On this fork it said l should be running 75psi for my weight but there was always about 30mm unused travel. I dropped the pressure by 5psi, then another 5psi, ending up at 65psi.
How much air do you put in rockshox?
Max pressure should not exceed 163 psi
. Rebound suggestions are set from the full clockwise/full slow position. These suggestions are a recommended starting point. Your riding style, terrain, and bicycle geometry can benefit from further adjustments to tune your suspension for your preferences.
What should my MTB tire pressure be?
Typical mountain bike pressures range from
22psi (1.5 bar) to 35psi (2.4 bar)
, generally with more air in the rear than the front. This is because more of your weight is on the rear, so it needs more support.
