Setup

Setup basics that make a bike fit you

A well set up bike is easier to control and less tiring to ride. This section explains rider sag, suspension adjusters, lever and pedal position, handlebar angle, tire pressure and gearing in plain terms. You will learn what each change does, how to make one adjustment at a time and how to write down your settings so you can return to them. Start with the factory recommendations, and see a suspension specialist for rebuilds or heavy modifications.
