DAMPER (SHOCK)
You can adjust the dampers (or shocks) specifically to your weight and the
terrain.
The air damper can be adjusted with the adjusting screw
air pressure. The negative deflection (also called the SAG value) expresses
the compression of the damper that results only from the cyclist's weight,
sitting position and the geometry of the frame.
SUNTOUR RAIDON EDGE LO-R / RAIDON LO
The SAG value should be between 20% and 30% of the total deflection
(RAIDON EDGE LO-R: 50 mm/ RAIDON LO: 38 mm) . This corresponds to
approx. 10 - 15 mm / 7 - 11 mm in the installed damper.
ROCK SHOX DELUXE R
The SAG value should be between 20% and 40% of the total deflection (51
mm). This corresponds to approx. 10 to 20 mm in the installed damper.
MEASURING THE SAG VALUE
DANGER OF DAMAGE AND ACCIDENTS!
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure released for the damper
(Suntour Raidon = 300 psi | Rock Shox = 360 psi). Damage to the damper and
DANGER
frame may occur.
1. If there is no O-ring on the piston, attach a zip tie to the piston
2. Slide the O-ring / cable
3. Sit on the bike in the riding position. Do not rock to avoid falsifying the
SAG value.
4. Carefully get off of the bicycle.
5. Measure the negative deflection (SAG value) between the dust seal
of the damper and the cable tie.
If the SAG value is exceeded or not reached, the air pressure of the damper
must be adjusted.
SETTING THE DAMPER
Use an air pump with pressure gauge to set or check the air pressure.
1. Take off the valve cap
2. Apply the air pump to the valve of the damper and check the air pres-
tie up to the dust seal
