Bicycle workshop: Tips&Tricks Video: FOX suspension Friday – adjust air dampers correctly

July 20, 2018 by the editorial office

Tips & Tricks Video: In the next few weeks we will be doing a "FOX Suspension Friday" every Friday, in which we would like to present you with all the basics about suspension elements. Today's Fox Suspension Friday is about: 

How do I adjust my air shock correctly?

The topic of chassis setup is one of the most important topics to do with mountain bikes. Safety and control on the trail play a major role here. If the damper is set too hard or soft, this affects the suspension fork and the geometry of the mountain bike. Suspension fork and damper should always be perfectly balanced. There are also always half-truths circulating in the scene about how a chassis should be perfectly adjusted. Together with Chris Trojer we will explain to you how to adjust an air shock perfectly. It is important to always follow the steps that Chris Trojer describes in the video in order. This is the only way to find a perfect basic setup.
