Myka FSR sag: 7.5-9.5mm (20-25%)
NOTE: See the chart for starting air pressures, or refer to the Sag-O-Tron decal on the side of the seat tube and link to
dial in the sag. The charts and Sag-O-Tron are only a starting point, actual sag needs to be checked and adjusted on the bike,
while riding, and at regular intervals.
Position the blue compression lever in the "Open" position to allow the shock to sag more easily. After setting the
pressure, push the rubber ring up to the seal, sit on the bike gently, dismount, and measure sag.
Refer to the rebound/compression chart to set the rebound damping (red knob). Rebound damping controls the
rate at which the shock returns after it has been compressed.
Clockwise for slower rebound (slow speed, bigger hits).
Counter-clockwise for faster rebound (higher speeds, small bumps, more traction).
The Ario adjustment has two lever positions, locked out or open, based on the terrain conditions.

CANE CREEK DB AIR SHOCK SETUP

Enduro FSR sag: 19mm (30%)
The recommended settings for the DB Air shock are based of a mean rider weight of 150-180 lbs (68-82 Kg).
For any weight above or below this range, it is recommended to adjust the rebound damping settings.
If the air pressure is lower than 125psi, rebound damping should be decreased (sped up). Above 150psi, rebound
damping should be increased (slowed down).

SETUP DATA

DATE
NOTE: Air pressures, rebound and compression settings are suggested
starting point recommendations only. They should be adjusted
according to the rider's needs for each type of terrain to achieve optimal
performance.
NOTE: Not all shock pumps are 100% accurate. To ensure that the
sag is set correctly at 19mm, Specialized recommends that the sag be
manually measured after the shock is pressurized and the shock pump
is removed.
