jacksprogis

I just wondered what pressures i should be running on my nerve 7 ?
For trail use .....
For road use ....
I have herd the rp2 with boostvalve is good until 300psi . Thanks

Set the sag to around 25% and fine tune from there. On the bike in your normal gear in 'attack' position.
It's not a road bike.

Ok then , i forgot to say im 7stone 10 weather that helps .
I am well aware its not a road bike but i will be using it for everything !
I will try 250 in the back for road use for now . Thanks !

If you're 7st 10 you want no way near 250psi!
Are you familiar with the lockout lever?

jacksprogis

Yeap but only propedal , no proper lockout i have 210 in at the moment

Get on the bike and measure the sag of the suspension. You want roughly 20-25% sag (travel). I run about 20% on a short travel bike.
Shock has Propedal - use that on the road.

No proper suspension will lock out completely. What if you happen to hit a bump at speed and it is fully locked out? Will the universe implode? No, that's why it should have a threshold, after which the suspension becomes active and absorbs the bump.

Are you new with the bike? If it is to be used on road, use it with 20% of sag. And if you find it bobing when standing up, sit on the saddle.

you can actually move it with 210 in ? you want to start by halving that and work from there, and according to the guide about 50 psi in the front

Me and my dad set it up last night , 55psi in forks and 135 in shock , yes i can move it at 210. Cheers
