dannyb Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Can anyone tell me the correct sag for a 14 300 please? Currently have about 95mm with me stood on bike and 27mm ish of free sag with the bike under its own weight? Is this right? Have the clicker at three clicks out from full in.

taffe Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hi Dannyb, I think the rule of thumb is a 3rd of the overall shock travel, with rider and gear on the bike. That's how I set up my TRP shock. Cheers Taff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyb Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Book says rear travel is 175mm so a third is 60mm? Doesn't seem right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.b Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Depends on your weight, the standard spring suits a 75kg rider and the spring height can be adjusted by the adjustable rings on the shock. If that still does n't work and if you are carrying a bit of excess baggage and weigh 85/90 kilo's then an updated spring will be needed to get the correct sag and ride height.

Depends upon the rider. Yours is not bad, yet you may take it up a bit, I would suggest 15-20 static range, as you need to allow some float for grip! Bit more even for the mud is ok! I have known many heavy riders at high levels that use stock spring. They just use them better than others! I had some numbers jotted down at one time, but cannot find them. Seem to recall the 85-90 or so range best on the Sherco for normal folk, loaded. A bit more preload should get you there in both areas. You would be fine, although springs will sag in over time and require a bit of adjustment. Gotta set the screw to suit yourself and ability. More or less is a tradeoff. Splatshop Chris is the Guru on this, you can contact him for more if needed, yet I doubt you should worry much.
