On a fox 32 performance talas FIT RL. Just received my Canyon Nerve 7 AM second hand, and I am trying to workout how to adjust the sag. I have read some of the Fox instruction, and watched a few videos. I have the fork at the 150mm setup, so 25% of that I should have a sag of 37.5mm. The pressure was initially setup at 100PSI, I am now down to 60 PSI and the sag don't increase much. Before I go any further, could anybody tell me if I am doing something wrong. Thanks
PS: This is my first full sus bike, so bear with me, thanks

    are you in your normal riding position? with full kt on? or just sat on the saddle?

    Yes, backpack with water in, only difference is I am wearing jeans instead of my shorts, the only thing that could affect the setup is that I don't have received my new pedals, but I am putting my feet up and on the crancks. I could always remove my old pedals from my HT if this is the issue. I am around 75.5kg, + my kit, what the pressure should be more or less? Surely 60 PSI is quite low, or am I wrong?

    I am going to setup the fork to 70PSI, as the table says, and will see on how the bike react on tomorrow's ride.

  • Thid may sound simple but, make sure you don't have the shock in the locked position !
