    Set it to the sag you want, set rebound as you like it & ride.

    set the air to give the sag you want.

    but there are a few Roco air shocks.

    Inflate until you get the sag you want (say 30% of the travel), and set rebound to control how fast the shock re extends.

    That is it really! Is a simple shock that is easy to experiment with.

    PS there are no figures to set it to other than the sag.

    :wink:

    as it says in the manual (table 4) any where between 12 and 15 BAR.

    it is only bottom out resistance setting.
