Chris Mandell has a lot to say about setting up suspension - even for Joe consumer rather than just the enthusiasts that make up most of our audience. One important strategy is to do your own back to back testing by riding a short loop over and over while making small adjustments. Another, to help riders learn how the dials influence performance, is to try the same loop and max a single knob in one direction and then the other. I admit that in the past I haven’t been as methodical as I should be but I’m getting better and my riding and testing is improving as a result.
