Shock sag Jig

[Black_peter]

A little jig for measuring sag solo...



The coil is just tight enough to hold position.
The upper part of the straight wire is held by a
screw where the "cargo" hook was..
The "base" is secured through the cotter pin hole..

I set the coil to the base, sat on the bike,
and balanced long enough to get a measurement..

I need to add a little more preload..
going by the above link
(I had it, but thanks!!)
I have just over 35mm
It "feels" like I need more and
they say 35 is the upper range.

Hmmm , I'd like to do mine like that site just to see how different it feels . Maybe I'll get off my lazy a$$ and do it one day .

[Black_peter]

It was really fast.
And I bet you could make something like I did..

[md86]

Nah , I can always recruit someone to help and do it the lazy way .
