Hi folks I think my rear shock needs the pressure adjusted as its nearly bottoming out on my rocky trail runs,
but I can't find anywhere online that advises the weight to psi for it.
It's a m210 if that's any help

Cheers

    As the shock pressure acts through the leverage ratio of the rear suspension (all of which are different) no-one can advise you on what pressure to run.

    As a rule of thumb, run it at 33%-25% sag and if it bottom out to often, up the pressure a bit...it should 'just' bottom out on your regular riding so you are suing the travel you've paid for!
    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.

    If it's nearly but not quite bottoming then it's set spot on. You should be getting full travel otherwise there's no point in having it.
