How to Properly Adjust Your Mountain Bike Shocks
To adjust mountain bike shocks, first determine the type of shock you have and consult the manufacturer’s instructions for specific guidelines. Generally, you can adjust the air pressure or coil preload to change the preload and compression, which affects the stiffness and rebound of the shock. Adjusting the rebound and compression damping can be done using the adjusters, with soft settings for rough terrain and harder settings for smoother terrain. Make small adjustments and test ride before making further changes.
