What PSI should my forks be?
Sag should be set to 15 – 20% of total fork travel
| Suggested Starting Points for Setting Sag | ||
|---|---|---|
| Rider Weight (lbs) | Rider Weight (kgs) | 32/34 TALAS Pressure (psi/ bar) |
| 130-140 | 59-64 | 105psi/ 7.2 bar |
| 140-150 | 64-68 | 113psi/ 7.8 bar |
| 150-160 | 68-73 | 121psi/ 8.3 bar |
How much psi do I need for a front fork?
Start with the recommended air pressure for your weight. If that is not known, try 100psi. On this fork it said l should be running 75psi for my weight but there was always about 30mm unused travel.
How much air do I put in my front shocks?
I’ve heard that as a general rule of thumb I should set the front shocks to 100% my body weight in terms of psi, and the rear shocks to 75% my weight (i.e. Front shocks at 110 psi and rear shocks at ~78 psi).

Eyeball it or use a ruler to measure. If less than 30 percent of the stanchion is showing below the o-ring, unscrew the valve cap on your shock and, using a shock pump, add air—about 10 PSI at a time. If more is showing release air by tapping on the shock pump release valve one tap at a time.
What psi should rear shocks be?
The exact PSI you end up with depends on how plush/firm you want the rear shock to be, but a good starting point is 1 psi for 1 lbs in weight of the rider (including riding gear).

Quote from video: Always on the bottom is the rebound which has a red dial is the same across many brands on the top is your compression adjustment.

How do you set rebound and compression?
Stand next to your bike and compress the fork with your body weight. Quickly release the fork and let it bounce back. Adjust the rebound until the fork rebounds as fast as possible without causing the front wheel to ‘jump’ off the ground.
