Hi, sorry for the newb post, the shop I brought my bike from are useless and have been no help at all with my bike :evil: I have had a good search and have found loads of helpful info but just wanted to check I'm doing it ok :P
I have a 2013 Camber Comp, I understand about setting up sag and pressures as per the manual but the suspension felt too stiff so what I've ended up doing is setting both shocks up so that under normal riding conditions with some half decent drops I only ever use 90-95% of travel which feels better (ie as much travel as possible without bottoming out). Does this sound ok?
Sorry for the stoopid question, first new bike in years!

Probably. Set the sag to about 20/25% with you in attack position, in full gear and fiddle from there. Occasional bottoming out is ok or you are not using all the travel.I don't do smileys.
