So I got myself a Voodoo Bantu a couple of months ago now and I want to check/adjust the air pressure in the front fork however, I cannot find a list of 'recommended' pressures anywhere on the internet.

I know a lot of it will be down to personal preference but I have no idea where to start lol.

    Start by setting the pressure to get 25% sag (use 25% of the avialable suspension travel, so 25mm if it's a 100mm fork, 30mm if it's an older bike with 120mm forks).
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Cool, I have been having a look around since posting and I assume that there will be some guidelines in the manual for the forks.

    I have read up on how to set sag so I think I will do as you advise first off, thanks
