Ohlins shock setup
Hello folks, i'm in need of a bit of advice/tips on setting up the Ohlins rear shock.
I've just bought and fitted Ohlins fork springs and oil and an Ohlins rear shock but before I go out to ride I wanted to set up the sag settings correctly, i'll tinker with compression and rebound later when i'm out on the road.
Using the data sheet provided with the shock it advises setting the sag to the following specs:
Recommended Sag and Ride Height
Free sag (R1-R2), (F1-F2)
Ride height (R1-R3), (F1-F3)
F1 - F2: 40-50 mm
F1 - F3: 55-65 mm
R1 - R2= 15-25 mm
R1 - R3= 40-50 mm
So far i'm not getting close to the free sag settings for the rear, currently at about 32mm. For those of you that have fitted one how far have you had to wind the spring preload down to achieve the 15-25mm window?
