Measuring front-end sag: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Measure the front end topped out and riderless. Then, with help, measure how much the front sags with you and your riding gear on the bike. If you have sag over 1.5", you NEED new springs.

Not new spacers, either (see above). Problems occur when people twist the sag information and think that adjusting the sag when on the WRONG spring (for instance, stockers with 4" of spacer) will improve the bike. Again, the right tool for the job is the way to go. Contact [http://sonicsprings.com/catalog/ Sonic Springs] and take care of the problem correctly.
