Picked up my new bike last Friday but I can find no reference on the CD of how to setup the rear shock. I contacted Specialized and they just referred me to the Rockshox website, but there doesn't seem to be any specific model apart from the RT. That said the manuals only show a breakdown of stripping/servicing units.

I don't want to just set it up but understand how changing will impact.

Any pointers or help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    set sag.

    adjust rebound so after compressing the bike you can just lift it off the ground before the wheels fully extend.

    the rest is personal and depends on your riding and the trails.

    oh and leting us know what knobs and adjusters there are on it (pics) might help in IDing which version it is similar to on the RS webby.

    or may be even mentioning what the bike is.

    Thanks Nick, but I have never setup one of these before, let alone used one so you're talking a tad chinese to me :? but once explained it'll go in.

    I'd like to know what each bit is used for.

    It's a Camber 29er and here's a pic
