    settings

    Still playing with the settings . Fork seals changed at the shop but they didnt put any air in . On a good long ride it seems to hit the bumps really hard . Roads not so good here . Rear seems pretty hard too but bottoms out ocaisionaly and gouges the tire .
    Front air is about 9 psi now and rear 28 psi in the stock air shocks

      I just thought I would post my method of setting fork air pressure. This ensures exact pressures for both sides. I chuck up a blow gun on my air compressor and put a very low pressure gauge on the end. THe gauge on the tank is not very accurate. I usually set the hose pressure around 7 psi. Once the pressure is set, I take of the blow gun and put on the air chuck to fill the forks. Just hold the chuck on tight making sure no ail is leaking and remove. THe forks will the the same pressure and your lower pressure gauge is much more accurate than compressor reg gauge and bicycle pump gauges. You don't have to check the pressure after that because you set it at the reg.
