I'm sure I've read somewhere that the Static Sag on a bike's suspension should be about a third of the total available travel.
Is that right or am I dreaming ?
And does it vary from bike to bike (model to model?) or is it a universal truth ?
Owner's handbook gives travel as 137mm front and 130mm rear so it should be 46mm front and 43mm rear (or thereabouts)
Just trying to get the preload right before fiddling with the damping
What do our suspension experts think ?
