Hi all! It's Norm the Suspension Retarded again!
Today's question is about setting sag on my Fox Float 120 RL suspension fork. It appears that I basically have 2 ways to set sag:
1. Air pressure
2. Rebound adjustment
I don't think that's supposed to be the way it works but I'm not sure. As far as I know sag is supposed to be controlled by #1 and #2 is supposed to be only the rebound. Correct?
It seems like the rebound has a pretty big impact on sag, at least when I make it soft. I was told to start with a soft rebound and go from there. But having the rebound set as soft as possible reduce the sag to...well 0%. Literally 0%. I got on the bike and the zip tie didn't move 1 millimeter.
So I backed it off maybe 5-10 clicks, pumped the shock back up from 80 to 90, then got on and just rode it around. Feels much more plush now. But I didn't bother to set the sag. I went to look online for how to set the sag, and it seems I'm only supposed to be able to control it with air pressure. So I figured I'd ask here first.
Thank you for your continued support!
