I could state my [b]opinion[/b] which comes from reading this and that..and just blatantly state: Free sag should be between 5/8 and 1 1/4".

But then there would be argument and dissension amongst the ranks.

So I'll post my 'proof' as obtained from a google search on "free sag".

If you want further info, look up the 400 some hits on the subject! ;)

The proper static sag with you on the bike shoud be 1 to 1 1/4 inch.

With most full size bikes look for .... the static sag measurement ending up at a point between 15mm and 25mm, with 20mm being perfect. If you get your race sag properly set but your static sag is less than 15mm, you will need a heavier spring to correct this measurement. The same goes if the static sag is greater than 25mm, except a lighter spring will be needed to correct the measurement.

Static sag numbers should be approx 15-25mm.  If your number is less than 15mm, you may need a heavier spring.  If it is greater than 25mm, you may need a lighter spring.
