|   5th Element shock setup recommendations? | GeePhroh
Jan 12, 2004 6:41 PM | | I just picked up an iron horse sgs pro ($1600 monster deal from supergo) and I'm scratching my head about getting the 5th element dialed in. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. The frame is the small (though it's a 45lb tank) and I weigh in at 150.
Thanks in advance. |

Good luck SUCKA!!

Jan 13, 2004 3:17 AM | | Check out www.tftunedshox.com for some great setup tips from Tim Flukes. Open all three adj. fully. (2 compression +1 rebound) Then follow the tips from there. Keep in mind, the amount of air in the chamber, the firmer the pedalling platform will be. (I thing they say 40-100psi for FR/DH) using the minimum amount of air, check spring rate. Changing the size of the air chamber changes how sudden the ramp up is for bottoming. Good luck. |
