Hey all, i recently got my Zesty 214 and the front fork RockShox Reevaluations has a guide setting of weight to psi 70kg-105psi

but the Fox Float RP2 on the rear doesn't have any instruction

any ideas to what i should set it or is it mostly personal preference?



(not had a bike this good before so never had to set anything)

    what ever pressure you need to get the sag you want.

    it is that simple.

    alright cheers :-)
  • The Zesty has a sag meter label on the seatstay with a pointer on the seat tube.
    The label has sag % on it, so sit on the bike and get someone to see where the pointer moves to and add/remove air to the sag % setting you require.

  • From memory my RP2 I think is at about 55psi. I weigh ~70kg and that gives me about 30% sag.
    As long as you dont go above the design limit (300psi, says on the air sleeve somewhere) then like nicklouse says, set the pressure to give you your desired sag.
