Noob here: This seems like the best quick reference video I've run into so far for shock setup. THANKS!

Papa Smurf was really happy with his new bike setup.

I love that color combination on that bike!

[jmrub]

Wow, didn’t realize I need to have a PhD in calculus to ride my full suspension bike :(

[joshdanhall]

Unclear on what to do with the compression damping, once adjustment is done?

[HVYMETL]

So....after all that, leave the blue levers front and back in their full CCW position? The video didn't show what to do with those levers after that.

Very helpful! I also have a low speed compression setting on fork that I don't quite understand

[tafsirulhaque]

I just realized I don't have a bike

Hi

Can you please help me with a suggestion?

I want to know the importance of back suspension in bicycle. I thought back suspension is good for health of the rider. But few shop keepers have told me that back suspension is a reason for back pain. The shop does not have the bicycle with back suspension. So I am confused whether they are correct.

When i read the advice of my front and rear shocks it says with rebound 3x clicks out. But what is out turn left or turn right and view from saddle or view from front?

[TheFCSProductions]

what shoes are those? i like them, might have to get a pair.

am i blind or did i not see marlin bikes on the site considering i have one and am wondering how to configure it

[SomVTambe]

I'd like to know, whether a hardtail bike is good for trailing as compared to a dual suspension bike. I have a hardtail bike, but was thinking of buying a dual one but I've never tried it, and the bike I've got hasn't been tested by me on such a terrain.

what is a light oil seepage on my 2017 fuel ex8 rear (fox float) suspension telling me?

[dipendragurung]
