Setting Proper Sag
1. Always set sag with the
open position. (fig. 1)
2. If your shock has additional compression and rebound
adjustments ensure they are adjusted to be fully open,
compression to the softest setting, and rebound to its
fastest setting. Do this by rotating them fully counter-
clockwise.
3. If it is not installed already, attach the sag indicator to
the bottom of the shock body using the provided zip-tie
and carefully cut the excess.(fig. 2)
4. Find a level surface and something to steady yourself
while mounted on the bike so you can be on the pedals
in a seated position. It may be easier to have a partner
hold your bike steady from the front, by holding the
handlebars while you are in your riding position.
5. While standing on the pedals, sit down hard into the
saddle to cycle the suspension well into the stroke.
This will ensure the bike comes to rest at the natural
sag setting with the rider in the saddle.
6. While in the saddle and not moving, slide the O-ring up
into position against the air can. (fig. 3)
7. Once the O-ring is set in place, slowly step off the bike
so as not to move the O-ring.
8. Make adjustments to the sag by removing or adding
air so that steps 4-7 result in the O-ring lining up with
the
red
line on the sag indicator. (fig. 4) When adjusting
air pressure in the shock, cycle the shock before re-
checking sag, so the large Evol negative air chamber equalizes pressure with the main chamber each time
air is added or removed. You can do this by pushing down on the saddle several times to compress the
shock past the sag point.
Setting Compression Damping on the Fox Float X
•
Some Factory Series Float X features a
adjustment knob, which can be used to fine tune the open mode of the
compression damping. This knob offers 10 additional fine tune adjustment
settings to the open mode.
•
Turning the knob clockwise will increase low speed compression damping.
Turning the knob counter-clockwise will decrease low speed compression
damping. You can experiment with all of these options to find the setting that
provides the best compression support and plushest feel for your weight and
riding style.
•
For a rider close to 100lbs, we recommend having the compression fully open, by
having the knob turned fully counter-clockwise. For riders 200lbs we like to start
at 3 clicks in from full closed as a good baseline setting. If the rider's weight is less
than 200lbs, open up compression damping 1 click counter-clockwise for every
10lbs. less. For every 10lbs over 200lbs we recommend increasing compression
damping by 1 click clockwise.
Using the Climb Switch on the Fox Float X
Some Float X shocks feature a two position lever allows for on-the-fly adjustment
between fully open and firm for climbing, As with other shocks, the firm setting is
best suited for long fire road climbs and smooth XC courses.
