1.3 SAG and adjustments:
Detecting the SAG can be useful to have an initial idea of the response of the shock
absorber (complete with spring) with respect to our weight and the cycling discipline
that you want to practice.
Here is the measurement procedure:
a) Measure the distance between the two
eyelets of the shock absorber (eye-to-eye,
in mm) of the rear shock absorber moun-
ted on the bike (figure H).
b) Wearing your own complete
equipment for MTB output
and with the help of a per-
son, position yourself on
the bike in a normal riding
position and measure the
distance between the two
eyelets which will necessar-
ily be decreased (figure I).
c) Taking these two measurements, calculate the SAG;
Example: MOD shock, Length x Stroke: 230x65 mm.
Use this formula: SAG(%)=
Difference between the measures: 19,5 mm.
(230 - 210,5)
x 100
(Shock stroke)
