How to Adjust the Suspension on a Mountain Bike: A Step-by-Step Guide
Adjusting the suspension on a mountain bike involves adjusting the air pressure, rebound, and compression damping of the suspension. First, determine your ideal sag by measuring the amount of travel when you sit on the bike. Adjust air pressure accordingly. Next, adjust rebound damping to control how fast the suspension returns after compressing. Finally, adjust compression damping to control how firm the suspension is. Test ride and make further adjustments as necessary.
