When you were on the bike, it was freely held in the upright position? 'Free' meaning nothing was preventing it from compressing the shock?
Since it was me on the bike and the wife measuring, it was tough. I am going to check the measurements again and get a third person to steady the bike because I kind of leaned the bike very slightly against a pole in my garage and tried to balance myself in the attack position for the measurement.
Thanks for all your advice, I'm going to try it again.
But, regarding the 'Attack position'? I sit 50% and stand 50%.
I've been viewing alot of Gary Semics videos and they are for MX, but I can't find ANY off road riding technique videos.
He says when measuring race sag, get in the attack position on the front part of the seat w/ head over # plate.
But, I'll take your advice since I ride 50/50 woods/track and get in the position I ride in most of the time, probably centered instead of forward.
"Set the sag based on where you are most of the time." That is likely not standing on the pegs with your head over the front light.
Thanks
