Has anyone figured out how to set the sag of the rear shock without a second set of hands?
Agree with Phil.Firefight911 said:Let's see. How heavy are you? Over than 180lbs? The answer is yes. Max it out and you're closer than you were.
Anything over that, no. Get the right rate spring first, then the answer is no. Not properly.

Now add riding gear and luggage and you are over the 180 pounds. The stock shock maximum is good for about 180 pounds.78YZ said:What is the significance of 180 pounds? I ask because that is my weight.
As Phil has said, you need to establish the correct rate for the given load, but you can't begin to do that without a measuring first.triman11427 said:Has anyone figured out how to set the sag of the rear shock without a second set of hands?

There are plenty of YouTube videos describing similar scenarios.
Speaking of rotary potentiometers, and because my job is data acquisition, I built my own. Yes, it's over the top, but I did it as an engineering exercise.
I 'borrowed' some left over string pots and an 8 channel DAQ device from work, wrote some code, built some mounts, and produce some nice graphs.
