[QUOTE="oldturtle, post: 994835, member: 63556"] I think you are confused about static sag in rear. As Adam said just correctly set the rear race sag. Anything over 4 inches and you will loose cornering quickness. Anything under 3-7/8 inches and you will loose straight line stability. After getting race sag correct then check static sag. The normally accepted static sag is anywhere in a rough range of about 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inches. Anything less than 1/2 inch means that you had to crank up preload too much to get proper race sag and that the spring is too soft. Anything more than 1-1/2 inches means you did not need enough preload to get correct race sag and that spring is too stiff. The rear static sag numbers only give a rough indication of correct spring rates where-as the race sag numbers must be met for a proper handling set-up. Your idea of a 2 inch rear static sag could still be OK but many suspension tuners might suggest going a little softer on the rear spring for your weight. For a play bike lots of different spring rate and static sag numbers will work just fine but for everyone you do need to get the race sag in the ballpark. [/QUOTE]
