Hi ,
Quick Question , trying to set sag on an old fox float to fork , it's supposed to be 130mm travel , it has about 150mm stanchion visible when locked out , which measurement am I looking for 20 per cent of for setting sag fox xc trail stuff ?
Thanks if anyone can shed light

Fox forks don't fully compress through to the stanchion tops. Release all the air and fully compress. Then inflate and measure the full travel from where the o-ring stopped.
Start with a % of travel and tweak it from there, % Sag is just a starting point
Some forks sit 10mm or so into their total travel due to negative chamber pressure. I have always wondered whether sag should be measured as a percentage of total travel, or the travel left after the negative suck down?

This.

Ah, I'd forgotten about the "oh no, our forks include a mystery amount of negative travel in what we quote as the travel" fun. I think sag should be a % of positive travel, as a starting point of course.
