How to Adjust Your Mountain Bike Suspension for a Better Ride
To adjust the suspension on your mountain bike, start by setting the sag – the amount the suspension compresses when you sit on the bike – to around 25-30%. Then, adjust the rebound to ensure the shock doesn’t bounce too much or too little after compression. Next, adjust the compression to control how easily the suspension compresses when you hit a bump. Finally, tweak the settings based on terrain and your personal preference. Remember to keep track of your adjustments in case you need to readjust in the future.
